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.

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. EdCamp is coming back to Connecticut this summer.

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.

Encourage colleagues to attend and participate in Edcamps or Twitter chats. When at a mainstream conference go up to someone you don''t know and capture their story. Look for those special moments in your buildings that are being done by innovative teachers and administrators that are not connected.

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.
