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.

Professional Development for educators is something that I believe still needs to be improved. Many educators have turned online for some of their professional development. Social media provides a great resource for educators, especially Twitter, to connect, share and learn with other educators.

The idea of a connected educator is nothing new, but the platforms through which educators can find other educators, share ideas, and learn are growing. With the feel of an in-person conference and the energy of an Edcamp, educators are finding this audio app is a new place to connect with educators from around the world.

A great debate that has emerged over social media channels has been how we honor and acknowledge our educators and others in the profession. It is through the work of educators that we can see excellence in practice each and every day in our students. Try experimenting with guest blog posts from educators and students.
