The most recent PD that was great for me was the Apple, iPods for education PD. I liked that PD basically because it provided me with lots of applicable ideas. The presenter provided all her handouts electronically. Which was great a great idea, in my opinion, because I was able to share this info with my teachers without needing to remake handouts or rely on my own notes. I also found it quite useful when the presenter showed us where to find language arts material in iTunes! She even showed us how to create printed materials from the FREE items we found in iTunes.
The presenter also took the time to gauge the audience to see how many people owned iPods, and how many had used them for educational purposes. A great portion of the presentation was spent on features of the iPod, which was not that useful to me but it was a great idea because a lot of people said they were not familiar with the model of iPods we were using.
The last thing that made it great for me was the last hour of the PD was spent exploring on our own at our own pace, with the presenter being available for questions or to help find things!!!
Overall I thought it was one of the better PDs that I have attended in quite some time!
