It's July: Join Us for #cyberPD

For the last month, #cyberPD community members have been ordering their books, joining our MeWe community, and getting ready for the start of our July virtual book talk.  This week begins the discuss about Welcome to Writing Workshop by Lynne Dorfman and Stacey Shubitz.

Here's the schedule:

How to participate:

The great thing about #cyberPD is that everyone makes it what they want it to be.  Here are some ideas for joining the conversation:

1. JOIN the MeWe #cyberPD community.
2. FOLLOW the Twitter hashtag #cyberPD.
3. READ and CONNECT.  As you read you can:
• share quotes on Twitter
• ask questions of the group
• start conversations in the MeWe community
• pin related articles, posts, quotes on our collaborative #cyberPD 2019 Pinterest Board
• start a Voxer conversation
• etc. etc. etc.
4. SHARE.  After you read, choose the way you'd like to share your thinking.  Here are some ways people have shared in the past (but feel free to make up your own):
• post a response on the MeWe community to the week's reading
• write a blog post and share in MeWe and/or Twitter
• create a sketch note response to share
• use your favorite app to share your thinking and embed or link it to your post
5. COMMENT on at least three other reflections.  

The power in this study each year has been the reflections of the community.  #cyberPD has participants from a variety of grade levels, positions, and experiences.  I've found each year that reading these varied perspectives truly enriches the learning I take away from the professional book.  No matter the professional book selected, these titles stay with me and impact the work I do because of the thoughtful reflections of the community. 

It's not too late to join the conversation.  Join the fun!
