What is edCamp? IMHO, edCamp = awesome (free) PD time! Think "participant-driven" and "organic". You won't find an "expert" presenter here that takes up the entire session with talk-talk-talk, leaving no time to ask questions and collaborate. Don't see a session you are interested in? Propose one! More information, videos, etc.: http://edcamp.org/
Who are the presenters? You!! Let's face it. We have all attended a conference where experts were paid to present, and yet we felt like nothing was gained. Or maybe you attended a session where you were just dying to ask some clarifying questions yet time ran out, and you were shuffled on to the next session. At edCamp, someone comfortable with a topic volunteers to lead the conversation. Questions, comments, and shared experiences from everyone are encouraged!
Who should attend edCamp?? Any educator that wants to get real, find solutions, and get inspired! Spread the word, especially in your specialty area, because the more people that attend, the more experts we will have on hand.
What if I can't attend this edCamp? -or better yet- What if I love this edCamp so much I want to attend another?? Stay tuned for the 2nd annual edCamp Indy sponsored by AISLE this June!!! Don't live close enough to join us in Indiana? Check out http://edcamp.org/ to find out when an edCamp will be in your area!
