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

Several have recommended this free PD, including the SEL course

Many great sources of PD, not just for librarians

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

Happy Banned Books Week! Banned Books Week is celebrated during the last week of September. This awareness campaign for protecting and exercising our 1st Amendment rights is sponsored by many professional organizations including the American Library Association. If you look on the left side navigation bar, and click on Ideas and Resources, you will find many free downloads including brochures, images, PSA's and lesson plan ideas. Take a look at the books that have been banned or challenged over the years. I think you will be surprised!

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 :-).
