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!
Photo Credit: Kevin Jarrett High & Low-tech for Optimal Learning Not only teachers able to share ways to integrate technology in the classroom, but I also learned some low-tech techniques as well. I already use Edmodo as my online hub, but Cel.ly Keep those eyes peeled at Edcamp-- resources can be found anywhere!
Lisa has been using Edmodo for 2.5 years and hosted an EdmodoCon viewing party, and "enjoyed both learning from the passionate speakers and the parallel discussions we had because of the sessions." Lisa and I were lucky to connect during EdCamp Philly this past Spring! edcamp #edtech edmodo edmodocon teaching technology'
Stop me in the hall, catch me on Edmodo, tweet to me, and I will just start gushing out of control. edcamp #edtech #flipclass #njed assignments collaboration edcampedmodo edmodocon' I could have written 20 posts about the events this summer, but I had no time to write! So, I will just sum it all up here.
This summer, this online component will likely be hosted on Edmodo, itself a great communication tool. Click for More Information July 22, 2013- Boston MA: EdCamp BLC at Building Learning Communities- I am helping to organize this free unconference in which the agenda is built and executed by participants.
It starts with 3 questions: 1) How Do We Learn ? Inquiry-based learning is a cornerstone of their approach. Moreover, I think it is the opportunity to engage with and learn with many that we do virtually each day. Edcamps and TeachMeets are another example of how this can happen. 2) What Can We Create ?
I would not recommend STARTING to form a Professional Learning Network when attending a conference for the first time. I did not learn about ISTE, ECET2, or Flipcon from an advertisement online or in a mailer. Having an insatiable hunger to learn, I first dove into the professional education pool through Twitter.
Steven Anderson : I really liked his idea of using Edmodo and Twitter to connect with his new teachers and help them with the tools they needed and used in the classroom. Mary Beth Hertz : Her idea of EdCamp , which was an unconference based on collaboration, sounded fabulous! Whether you went to ISTE or not, you are learning.
Your Local Professional Learning Community (PLC) Why? A professional learning community (PLC) shares resources and discusses specific student performances. To cement your bond, attend a local conference together or an Edcamp. Your Global Personal Learning Network (PLN) Why? We are supportive when the teaching gets tough.
I found twitter, Edcamp and connected to teachers. Curating and sharing implies that you want to support the learning of others. I searched for twitter feeds, blogs, facebook, youtube, pinterest, edmodo and even school websites. I had clickers, a slate and a mindset that I could not and would not teach in a classroom without it.
Here’s a big question: how can educators create learning experiences that foster collaboration, and problem solving, but also nurture imagination and curiosity during the school day? Innovators make learning relevant, and they commit to sharing digital learning content and powerful ideas for improving teaching and learning.
Start using an LMS (Learning Management System) such as Google Classroom , Schoology , Canvas , Edmodo , Moodle. Using a web-based central location to communicate, collaborate, assign, assess, and create allows for great opportunities for teachers and students to efficiently learn especially in a real-wold context.
