If you still believe that professional development is what happens on those two or three days each year when you sit in a classroom and have some expert "deliver" it to you, I have bad news. That model is no longer sustainable and the days of PD as something that is done "to you" by "experts" a couple of times a year are over.

It never fails-you're gathering materials for an upcoming class or presentation and all you can find is the pdf version of an important document.
New and exciting items need to be added to your document but the pdf format doesn't really allow for that easily. Fortunately, there are several free options to get that pdf document into Microsoft Word format and then you can update your document.
For the time being you can get AnyBizSoft's PDF to Word Converter by liking their Facebook Fan Page. Regularly $29.99 it's free for now.
