Dear Friends, I strongly recommend that you read this article. The researchers designed, implemented and evaluated a PD program to help urban teachers in low-income underserved schools in the U.S. learn how to utilize iPads and educational apps to support teaching and learning

Dear Ecenaz, thank you for sharing it! And you can download it for free from the following link: http://sci-hub.io/10.1016/j.compedu.2015.04.009# You can download from the box above on the left of the page. I think it might guide us for our PD designs.

I do not know if a similar guide is available for Turkish teachers, but the General Teaching Council for Scotland has prepared a guidance document to help Scottish teachers with "identifying potential dangers, offering some guidance about how to avoid them and providing a context for responsible, professional use of electronic communication and social media." The guide concludes as follows: Before posting materials online stop and ask yourself: (1) Will the content reflect poorly on you, your school, employer or the teaching profession? (2) Is your intention to post this material driven by personal reasons or professional reasons? (3) Are you confident that the comment or other media in question, if accessed by others, (colleagues, parents etc) would be considered reasonable and appropriate?

My gut feelings tell me that this list is somewhat incomplete despite its exhaustive coverage. Nevertheless, I found it good enough to share. :) You may follow the embedded links under each skill in order to explore each in-depth.

Thank you, Yasin. I think this comprehensive list will be helpful while designing our PDs.
