RSCON4 Presentation Interview

By Dr. Will










On October 12, 2013 at 2pm CST, I will be presenting on flipping professional development at RSCON4. In marketing for the conference, I was interviewed by Bruno Andrade about my presentation. The interview can be viewed below:



The following is a full description of my presentation:


Aligning with the principles of flipping the classroom, the aim of this workshop is to demonstrate how to practically and effectively use Edmodo, Google+, and Youtube to offer varying modalities to fit the professional learning needs of teachers.

The facilitator will present three social technologies and how each can be used to address the individual professional learning needs of teachers. From networking and engaging in conversations with other educators to participating in self-paced online courses to having access to a repository of training videos, this workshop offers a glimpse into flipping professional development.
