In terms of technology, it doesn''t matter where will be in 5/10/20 years. Teachers sharing what is working, what isn''t and how we can all be better for kids.

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. This combination of scheduled sessions and impromptu rooms give the feel of a structured conference with an Edcamp component. What is Clubhouse?

Technology and new theories of learning have led to groundbreaking shifts in how we define and support great teaching, with educators themselves leading the charge. One such event is EdCampPGH —perhaps the ultimate example of peer-led PD. Perhaps it’s no surprise that the model has gained traction among educators in recent years.

Year five of Edcamp GigCity is in the books. What many people probably don't know is that this is all volunteer led and run, and Edcamp Gigcity is unique in that the organizers represent higher ed, lower ed, public, and private school sectors. I love that about our edcamp! The EdCamp philosophy makes people smile.

We also invest in digital technology that we believe can engage students, as well as make the teacher’s job more enjoyable. This was the rationale for starting teacher-centered Edcamps during professional development. We also know technology cannot replace strong relationships. During these sessions, we don't go in with a plan.
