For years, I’ve searched for ways to support schools who can’t access PD because of geography or economics. Two months ago, I launched PD-OD.com, a library of 5-15mins videos covering a wide range of teaching & learning topics. I’ve just added 4 more titles, taking the collection to 52 with lots more in the pipeline. If you know anyone who might find these videos useful, please pass on the news!
