PD 360
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
PD 360[1] is an online library of educational professional development video programs broken into segments. The product was developed by the School Improvement Network, and it has since been renamed Edivate.[2] The segments are topical based with classroom examples featuring various educational experts. PD 360 has increased student achievement in schools in North America.[3]
PD 360[4] is an on-demand professional learning system for teachers and educators, with a series of tools built around a library of video segments. The video segments are streamed to the end user in the Flash Video format (FLV). The videos focus on pedagogical topics such as differentiated instruction, English language learners (ELL), instructional strategies, and classroom management. PD 360 is built in Flex, as a Flash application, so Flash is required for its operation.
Observation 360 is a sister product to PD 360 that allows principals and other instructional leaders to do an observation or walkthrough of a teacher using an iPad or iPod Touch. Observation 360 is linked to PD 360.
