Edcamp-style faculty meetings! An edcamp is a participant-driven conference, commonly referred to as an “unconference,” for K-12 educators. Edcamps are typically free and built around community participation and organization. You can elevate the motivation and learning to heights that seem unreachable.

Edcamps are the "unconference". Edcamp is a great series of free, unconferences for educators. The Edcamp model is unique in that attendees set the agenda the morning of the conference and the sessions are not led by one person, but are rather a collaboration of both the facilitator and attendees.

I''ve spent the last several days attending the 2013 ASCD Annual Conference in Chicago. And during the conference the Executive Director sent his first tweet and talked about the importance of educators to embrace social media to extend their learning. For me, one of the best parts of the conference. It was inspiring.

Year five of Edcamp GigCity is in the books. What many people probably don't know is that this is all volunteer led and run, and Edcamp Gigcity is unique in that the organizers represent higher ed, lower ed, public, and private school sectors.

The EdCamp Foundation announced the gift of a $2 million dollar, no strings attached, Bill and Melinda Gates grant. It was especially exciting for me because I was there at the birth of the powerful (now international) movement at EdCamp Philly 2010. The little video above is a blast from that past.

For anyone who has seen me do a presentation at a conference, you may know that I also participate in the conference as well. There’s a difference between a “pedagogical home” versus a conference, for example. Larger conferences, for example, intend on breadth over depth.

I attended my first EdCamp, called JEDCampNYNJ and on a Sunday last spring. You may be thinking, what makes this type of conference different than any other professional development conference I may have attended in the past? At EdCamps, this is a given. So what makes a conference a JEDCamp rather than an EDCamp?

I spent Friday morning of the conference over at the Hard Rock talking pedagogy, curriculum adoption and Google Apps.

Although this could also be a good thing.

Technically, if one trusts the etymology, the best way for a teacher to confer with other educators would be an educator conference. Meanwhile, the most enthusiastic listeners whisper to each other, or form mini-groups outside the conference walls, maybe even at a social gathering later that day. HOW TO DO A SMALL UNCONFERENCE.

For the most part, this consisted of attending mandatory district “PD” days, professional learning communities (PLC)’s or approved off-site experiences such as conferences, workshops, or webinars. It was always referred to like this, so who was I to argue. I think the same can be said when it comes to the learners we serve.
