Edmodo - Edmodo is a closed, private social network. EdCamp model - the Edcamp model puts the participants in the driver''s seat for PD (and meetings) and allows for PD to be more meaningful.

EdCampCT Reflections and Resources

Educational Technology Guy

For those who don''t know, 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 highly recommend Edcamps!

What Is It About #Educon? My Reflections.

The Web20Classroom

Edcamps and TeachMeets are another example of how this can happen. Get up, move around, work in groups, have everyone collaborate in Edmodo or on a Google Doc. Many times I saw people gathered around in small groups talking about whatever they really wanted. The same thing can happen locally Schedule a monthly tweetup or get-together.
