  • Participating in units from the POT Certificate Class
  • Taking the year-long POT Certificate Class (starting September 1 each year)
  • Taking Blackboard training through Karen’s self-assessed modules

View recordings

You can watch any current recordings at the POT site (or other professional development sites approved by POT as indicated at the POT website) and count it as MiraCosta College flex under Category II so long as the following conditions are met:

  1. You post, either on your own blog or here at the Forum, a 250 word minimum reflection on what you viewed,
  2. You select Record -> Category II.
  3. You take a screenshot of the post you made to upload into the system,
  4. The video or conference recording you view is no more than three years old,
  5. As with other flex activities, the work must be done outside of teaching hours.

These are videos of our workshops (those three years old or less are eligible for flex):
