You can now earn professional development renewal credits from the comfort of your home or mobile device with Piedmont's new online professional development offerings. 

Separate self-paced assignments for the latest IBO training webinars are now available on the Piedmont Google Classroom PD site.  The online Google Classroom for Course 1 - IB Webinars 1-5 is running now . Course 2-  IB Webinars 5-10 will be offered next year.  

All you have to do is go to classroom.google.com, login with your work email and Google Drive password, click the + sign at the top of the home screen and join with the code that was listed in your weekly bulletin (see Lisa Gurthie if you need the code) and start earning at your own pace. 

Each of the 5 Google Classroom assignments consists of: 
  1. Playing the one hour audio webinar with accompanying video slides (example in video above)
  2. Completing and submitting the google form listed with each video assignment. (sample assignment questions )
Each assignment should take 2 hours for a total of 10 hours per course.

 Start learning and earning today from the comfort of your own home!

Information about how to receive credit in MyTalent will be forthcoming as soon as the course is available on that site.

The only annoying thing about Google Drive last year was the pain of getting students to turn their work in properly and to the right email and most of those issues are solved with Classroom. Here's how to get started:

How to Create a Class:


  • go to classroom.google.com
  • Sign in using your CMS email the same way you sign into Google Drive
  • Folllow the prompts on the screen or to make a new class just click the + sign

    Suggestions:
  • make a different classroom for each section you teach 
  • name the class your Course name and include section number day or time as desired.
  •  in the About section- paste your instructions and weblinks class links here. Also paste any rules you have for using the stream as social media (is it ok for them to post at will, or it only for "business" etc) or other directions specific to your classroom.
