Follow Friday – #MTSPDDay

Every Friday I share what I believe to be a notable person/organization/school on our social media pages to assist our staff in the development of their online Personal Learning Network.


This week, as I do every year at this time, I’d like to bring recognition to the #MTSPDDay hashtag!

Follow Friday, provincial #MTSPDDay, follow the hashtag on social media

To learn a bit more about what exactly MTS PD Day is and how it is being held during the Covid-19 pandemic, check out the video below from MTS President: James Bedford

As educators take part in various professional development sessions across the province, many of them are choosing to share their learning via social media and tagging their posts using the hashtag #MTSPDDay. By following along with this hashtag on your platform of choice you are able to document your own learning, grow your PLN, and take in content from sessions you were unable to attend!

My #MTSPDDay

I was originally slotted to present on behalf of ManACE in a session entitled, “Blended Learning 101”. Unfortunately, my session was cancelled due to low enrollment as a result of the current pandemic situation. As such, my plans have changed relatively last minute so my #MTSPDDay is divided into five categories:

  • purposeful reflection on my practice
    • working on a few blog posts
  • supporting our staff as they navigate online sessions
    • check out Instagram stories for some tips and tricks
  • continuing my work on The Digital Citizenship Handbook by Mike Ribble
  • reading, contributing, and building dialogue by following #MTSPDDay posts via Twitter
  • personal wellness
    • an uninterrupted yoga session over the noon hour!

Did you participate in #MTSPDDay? If so, what session(s)?

Did you use social media to share about it?
