About Participate
https://www.participate.com/about
We believe that education has the ability to change the world. This is why our goal is to create learning opportunities that empower teachers and inspire students.
As a part of the VIF family, Participate helps teachers connect and collaborate with educators around the world to discover new resources and ideas they can incorporate into their instruction. Our collaborative professional development tools provide growth opportunities for educators that are rooted in discussion and creative, critical thinking.
Measurement and feedback
Measurement is key. We regularly collaborate with teachers, schools, districts and research partners to:
Teachers who embrace new technologies recognize that PD can be achieved in part through collaboration with other educators. This type of collaborative learning is not as easily achieved through traditional professional development practices.
The Participate platform facilitates resource discovery and best practices, giving teachers ownership of their own professional development. As personal learning networks expand, teachers achieve more recognition in their school communities and beyond. Teachers organically organize collaborative environments, often finding one another through one or a number of the hundreds of Twitter chats that occur in any given week, or in locally organized EdCamps that take place throughout the globe.
Ultimately, it’s about empowerment and self-discovery through the expansion of personal learning networks, and the ability to blend in voices, concepts and tools from all over the world.
