This year, many of us will spend hours in school meetings feeling demotivated, bored, unappreciated, and stressed. You deserve to have your time valued, because you are on a grand mission to help the world learn. You might even offer to help organize that meeting to save your leadership time. We need you inspired!

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. It is a great way to learn, share, and connect with other educators.

But if you ask teachers who have never used a social network, blog, or mobile device for learning in their classrooms to discuss connected education, you are likely to be met with blank stares, furrowed eyebrows and shrugged shoulders. The Edcamp model connects educators to PD like never before. According to DeWitt, we can.

Options range from continuing home learning programs full-time, to fully reopening classrooms with or without additional public or outdoor spaces and staggered schedules, to hybrid approaches. Even if physical buildings are forced to remain closed, we must remember that schools themselves are not closed—learning must, and will, continue.

Think of it this way — Some students learn by seeing. Others learn by hearing. Others learn by doing. But no one learns one way. So, when you have many ways of teaching material, nearly every student learns better. If project based learning works – do it. So, if differentiation works – do it.

This past Saturday I attended Edcamp Boston, an "unconference" set in the wonderful Microsoft NERD center overlooking the Charles River in Cambridge.

This was the rationale for starting teacher-centered Edcamps during professional development. Instead, teachers decide what they want to learn, and what they'd like to help others learn, instead of being force-fed one-size-fits-all PD. Instead of kicking students out, we lead meetings by letting kids know we believe in them.
