The 28 days of OLLIE (+ 1 bonus day) through AEA PD Online is an excellent opportunity for online teachers to benefit from each other’s ideas and experiences, as well as gain some insight into the newest innovations in online learning.
It is our hope that at the end of this month (Feb. 1-29) the connections that are formed among and between the community members will extend beyond the 28 days and lead to community of online teachers that can support each other in future work.
What to Expect During 28 Days of OLLIE
28 days of OLLIE is meant to provide online teachers with learning opportunities focused on critical areas related to online teaching and learning. The community facilitators will be hosting a variety of learning opportunities or events for educators.
This year’s 28 Days of OLLIE format will be focused on scenarios that come from Iowa educators. Participants will read about a question or challenge faced by an online/blended teacher. Community members can then participate in activities and discussions and access expert resources that are focused on resolving the issue or challenge identified in the scenario.
