If you’ve followed my blog over the last several years, you might remember that I occasionally create challenges for myself to explore, learn, and share what I discover. Last December, I challenged myself to explore 24 Days of Teaching and Learning Resources.
My challenge for April is to explore something new each day and share what I discover. Hopefully, I won't let you or myself down! (April Challenge Update Doc)
Today I signed up for a free course on the Ditch That Textbook, "Creating a Playful Classroom with Jed Dearybury!"
I am currently reading The Playful Life: The Power of Play in Our Every Day by Julie Jones and Jed Dearybury, so I am excited to shift my focus to learning more about "The Playful Classroom: The Power of Play for All Ages".
Signing up for this course started me thinking about additional learning opportunities. Today, I wanted to share some online PD courses for educators that are worth exploring this Spring and Summer.
