Pop Up PD was developed for LBS practitioners by a committee of the Learning Networks of Ontario (LNO) and the Provincial Support Organizations of Ontario (PSOL) and e-Channel. Our goal is to provide free PD (Professional Development) opportunities to literacy educators via topical webinars. Technical Support is provided by Contact North. The work of the Pop Up PD committee is funded by the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities.
