How can teachers use technology to enhance professional growth?

There are many ways that teachers can use technology to enhance professional growth. One way is by taking part in online professional development or college courses. Last year I had the opportunity to take part in an online website professional development course that was held by Madison County. This was a very easy and convenient way for me to learn more about how to work our county wide website program. Online college courses are a great way for busy teachers to further their education. By taking part in online college courses, they are provided a non-traditional way to obtain higher education degrees and certifications at their own pace.Teachers can also host or follow other teacher blogs. This is one of my favorite resources as a teacher. I follow over 100 teacher blogs to get ideas for my classroom and use the BlogLovin' app that makes it very easy for me to scan through and read these blogs quickly. I have found ideas for decorating my classroom, lesson plans, and other teachers fresh perspectives on teaching techniques. When it comes to technology, the possibilities of professional growth are endless and a resource we should take advantage of to further our professional growth.
