Preamble
Use this rubric to help you maintain a professional development record of the K12 Online sessions you attend. We suggest you use this rubric for each session individually **and** for the conference as a whole. We hope that this approach will both inform your professional practice and any applications you make for a new job or an educational course.

Questions
> > This may include both "quick wins" and longer-term changes. Bear in mind that it would be useful to plan changes in a way that allows you to measure their impact. This will often entail stating the outcomes as questions you want to be answered. > Other questions to consider in this context: > a) What are you trying to achieve?b) How do you organise learning (to achieve it)?c) How well are you achieving your aims?. > In this context you could also ask about other people's contribution and role including pupils, assistants, parents, and consider the environment and dynamics of their proposed application. Some of this is embedded in question 7.
 * 1) Your name
 * 2) Name of session
 * 3) Conference strand
 * 4) (a) Main points made ("Takeaways"); (b) Questions the participant has now after viewing the presentation
 * 5) URLs of session and further resources
 * 6) What did you gain from the session in terms of your personal professional development? (See "Methodology" below)
 * 7) How will you apply the learning to your professional situation?
 * 1) What other resources, including reading material, are relevant to this?

Format
Here are some suggestions for the format of your answers to the questions above. Note that these are suggestions, and may not be acceptable in your particular circumstances. Do include the date and time in your presentation, and your location if relevant (it nearly always is).
 * A short video (5 to 10 minutes long), accessible from a site such as TeacherTube
 * A short digital story created with VoiceThread, BubbleShare, or another website permitting voice-annotated images
 * A narrated digital story created with a software tool like PhotoStory3, Moviemaker, or iMovie.
 * A short podcast
 * A short presentation
 * As a blog post to a personal blog or a social networking site
 * As a page on a wiki site created by the participant
 * A mindmap
 * A text document
 * You may wish to use Social bookmarking to share resources (Q8)

Can you think of how your "production" might be shared with, and commented on by, others? In fact, who **is** your audience?

Note that this rubric applies mainly to a single presentation. How will you reflect on your learning from the conference as a whole?
