Lots of PD "Universal" Resources

I'm writing to share a ton of PDFs with y'all from the Making Curriculum Pop Ning. Like this Ning, it is another resource sharing community with a slightly different slant - MC POP is all about best practices & pop culture in every discipline. Pop culture does - of course - include technology.

I've collected all the best teaching tools/lessons shared there designed for "universal use" in the MC POP Playlist.

MC POP is password protected, primarily so that the Ning is clearly a closed educational community where things are shared under educational fair use laws. If you don't want to join MC POP to view the links below I did post two sample PDFs at the bottom of this post.

The cool thing about these resources is that you can use things like the MI/Differentiation checklist (attached below) to support the tech PD your doing in a low tech way that non-tech savvy teachers can get into. You can also use something like the Peer Feedback LEO (attached below) to scaffold discussion about a technology tool.

Here are some of the "teaching tracks":
