Are they going to conferences or Edcamps to expand their horizons or see what conversations teachers are having? But what opportunities are administrators seeking outside of traditional PD? Are they engaged in Twitter or other social networks? Do they know about #cpchat? Do they read leadership blogs? photo credit: Stéfan via photopin cc.

So in the span of 10 minutes we created #EdcampRogue , an impromptu session where we would gather, talk about the Edcamp Model of PD and how educators can get connected. But no space, time, session, nothing, to talk to attendees about why be a connected educator or how to make that happen.

The idea of bringing together major players in education to talk, discuss and debate is already happening, just on a smaller scale with events like #Edchat and Edcamps. The philosophy and fundamentals of WISE could be applied anywhere. Teachers sharing what is working, what isn''t and how we can all be better for kids.

Even reading blog posts, articles in trade publications, books, or attending Edcamps, they want to constantly be examining their own practices, realizing opportunities for improvement and capitalizing on all that learning.

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.

Edcamps can help fill that void. You can read more about Edcamps and check out the Edcamp calendar to learn when one is taking place near you. The problem some (like myself) have with these conferences is they are expensive to attend and they don't exactly have sessions to meet your learning needs.

Visit an Edcamp. Even if we don’t think we have anything to add we will find something in our learning that others can benefit from. Sharing is how we all learn from each other, finetune our craft and invite others into our classroom. Start a blog. Send some tweets. Start your own hashtag chat. Record your own podcast.

Perhaps you''ll attend a conference or Edcamp this year. There are lots of ways I can share more everyday! How can you share more along with me? Starting and/or posting on your blog is a great start. Engaging with colleagues is another. Or maybe you collect and curate digital resources?

Edcamps and TeachMeets are another example of how this can happen. Many times I saw people gathered around in small groups talking about whatever they really wanted. I think the best conversations happened outside of the scheduled Conversations. The same thing can happen locally Schedule a monthly tweetup or get-together.
