WGTE Public Media

Professional Development

« previous page

Teaching professional development workshops became one of my primary duties at WGTE Public Media after the release of the Build Your Own Website™ online classroom application. Originally offered exclusively to K-12 school teachers, these workshops were later widened to include administrators, students, educational resource specialists, and other memebers of the educational community.

I have been told that the most difficult students to teach are teachers. If so, I was very fortunate to have been constantly surrounded by exceptions to the rule. I absolutely loved working with educators. And as I have often found to be true, the more I taught someone else, the more complete my own knowledge of the subject became. I am fully convinced that the success of WGTE's web services owe considerably to the extensive time spent interacting with enbd users in these training workshops.
