Several good suggestions in this post; I've personally used ASCD, Teachers First, and edWeb.

Example of a lib guide a librarian maintains for her staff

Many of these sites are specific to librarians, but not all. I love summer partly because I can do lots more PD!

Very extensive list of opportunities, most but not all library-related

Many great sources of PD, not just for librarians

Several have recommended this free PD, including the SEL course

Great annotated list of resources. check out the comments, too.

Great list of free PD activities, many online

"This paper explains the key role that school librarians and libraries should play in state- and districtwide efforts to transition to digital learning, or the effective use of technology to improve teaching and learning. The report calls for district and school leaders, policymakers, and boards of education to support, encourage, and fund the evolving role of librarians and libraries as facilitators of content creation, personalized learning, and professional development."

They've put a resource together for you to explain/present kahoot

Have you tried Second Life yet? Are you afraid to do so? This link with a auto vide on the home page may either entice you to try it or scare the heck out of you. I am revising Second Life for my new role in ISTE. I ceated an avatar about a year ago (I am Maureen Mocha, they give you a list of sur name options and because of my coffee habit, well you get it...). Look me up if you try second life. I have been lurking around on the ISTE island. You should check that out too. There is a lot of free virtual professional development going on there. To participate in Second Life, you will need to download the viewer onto your computer. It is free. Go ahead and give it a try. I dare you :-).

We are thinking about having a monthly chat for AISLE, starting off with once/month for 1/2 hr. Suggestions? #AISLEchat is available

Very thorough list of PD for librarians. Note: There are affiliate links, which mean they make money off of some things if you buy them. Nevertheless, there are many free options on here.

very thorough resource on hyperdocs. includes many examples, definitions, tools

Includes certifications and other opportunities

Sort of lengthy, but could be useful to conference planners, and to encourage others to present. Interesting to note the number of full-library conferences, and school-librarian only.

Lots of great ideas here from Karen Ault.  "The Web in My World" is one of her presentations. There are many, many suggestions and tips under the various categories.  This can't do justice to all that she's shared, but it's a starting point!
