What is Pocket PD?
We know you’re busy and we know not everyone has the time to take a course to learn to improve your online course. We also know our system is filled with educators that have amazing ideas. That’s why we developed Pocket PD.
In our Pocket PD section, you will find access to public, free resources that are all shared with a CC-BY license. These resources provide you with just-in-time professional development to keep you learning and growing, even if you just have a few minutes. Go ahead and dig in. We know you’re going to love it!
