A New Venture - First Attempt At OnDemand PD

We have been having some weird weather in Central Texas lately and it seems that we have had quite a few late start says lately.  This past Thursday, after another late start day, I decided why not offer one of these Lunch and Learn sessions to my teachers as a way to earn PD credit during one of these late start days.   (I am also trying to get the principal to approve this kind of credit as a way to make up a professional development day moved to the end of the year due to a bad weather day.  But that is another story.)  

With much head banging and  help from friends, we finally got the webinar ready to be shared.   I used the YouTube video editor and added slides to the beginning and end of the video.  The end one contains a URL that takes the teachers to a Google Form they will fill out to get credit.  The form is a reflection form for the teachers and a feedback form for us.   (I was inspired by Amy Meyer's 6 Steps to Make Staff Development Sticky.)   Autocrat was added to the form so that a certificate of PD credit is emailed to the teachers once they have completed the form.   The feat of just putting this together was exhilarating and I was so excited to send this out to my teachers and the friends who helped me figure out the autocrat part.
