Why go to Ed Camp?
- FREE
- Network and get to know other teachers
- When you arrive to Ed Camp there is a space to submit ideas for sessions. Everyone has a voice.
- You decide which sessions to attend based on your interests and needs
- Sessions are collaborative, not 1 person holds all the knowledge
Ed Camp models what we should be doing in our classrooms. Our students should have a voice and choice in their learning.
I am passionate about being a connected educator.
If you do not have a Twitter account, create an account before you go to EdCamp.
We used the hashtag #EdCampLDR to tweet our new learning throughout the day.
The North Carolina State Superintendent, Dr. June Atkinson, was our opening speaker. It was an honor to have her attend.
The best part about Ed Camp is the open schedule.
All of our sessions for the day. Did I mention I loved Personalized PD? It is a great feeling to pick your session based on your needs and interests. You won't be bored! It is interactive and a lot of collaboration takes place.
