Edcamps are free, public, professional development opportunities organized by educators, for educators. Edcamps are “un-conferences,” unstructured conferences that leverage the knowledge and experiences of the attendees to drive topics and discussions. All Edcamps can receive materials to facilitate a making activity at their event.

The most popular form of the unconference is the Edcamp , but many conferences are scheduling an “unconference” day with this same format. At Edcamps across the world, teachers show up on a Saturday morning to an unconference location.

The traditional forms of sit-and-get PD are giving way to MOOCs, webinars, Edcamps and flipped learning. If we take the traditional staff meeting, many times the information shared is just “for your information” or anything that could be posted to a blog or in an email.

Edcamps too, while not brand new, have offered teachers and other educational professionals the opportunity to craft PD that is meaningful to them and really take back their own learning. There are sessions to choose from and the only requirement is that you attend a minimum amount of sessions for the day. There is a solution for that.
