Software, Classroom Management Top Interests Among Educators for Online Professional Learning - Michael Hart, Campus Technology

Educators typically take advantage of online professional learning (PL) opportunities because they are personally interested in finding out more about subjects; they're most interested in learning about software and digital resources and classroom management; and they're more likely to take advantage if they've been teaching for less than 20 years. Those are some of most significant findings of the 2016 Vision K-20 Survey, released each year by the Software & Information Industry Association's (SIIA) Education Technology Industry Network (ETIN). This year's survey focused on why and how educators — all the way from kindergarten through the college and university level — participate in online professional development. https://campustechnology.com/articles/2016/06/29/software-and-digital-resources-classroom-management-top-interests-among-educators.aspx
