One of the biggest reasons I enjoy using Twitter is it enables me to connect with educators from all around the world. Additionally, Twitter has proven to be an efficient and effective platform to discuss pressing educational issues. Unfortunately, most educators don't have the opportunity to discuss educational issues during the course of the school day with their actual building and district colleagues. As a professional development representative, I see great value in trying to incorporate time into the schedule that allows educators to sit and discuss. Here are 7 videos I have selected to use in an upcoming professional development day. Please feel free to comment or suggest additional videos that will initiate a healthy, productive and necessary discussion.
1) - David Letterman - The top ten things you DON'T learn about teaching in college...
2) - Dan Brown - An open letter to educators...
3) - Todd Whitaker - What great teachers do differently...
4) - Dan Pink - RSA animate - Drive - The surprising truth about what motivates us...
Hi Justin, Thanks for sharing this with us. I didn't know if you embedded a YouTube video in a Prezi that it would work at school where YouTube is blocked. I just played your Prezi and it worked great.
Nice selection. Interesting information about YouTube and Prezi. Students in my school get around the firewalls anyway; it's the teachers who get locked out! A similar thing happens with SmartBoards. ;-)
Excellent list. Thank you for sharing. One that has been shared in my district to engage us in meaningful conversation about our vision is A Vision for 21st Century Learning: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_A-ZVCjfWf8
Logging you in...
Another one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2H4RkudFzlc It is about the flipped classroom.

I think it is great that you are incorporating time for educators to discuss important educational issues.
