Manus shares how these Edcamps supported her practice and work with other educators, and we look forward to the launch of our next Edcamp: Powerful Learning at Home session on November 21. . I sat at home, anxious and pensive, and found refuge in the outdoors, household projects, and, of course, socialmedia.
Series Editor Peter DeWitt, says, "It is our hope and intent to meet you where you are in your digital journey, and elevate you as educators to the next level." The Edcamp Model: Powering Up Professional Learning , by The Edcamp Foundation: Professional development has never been so simple than when teachers create it.
Non-traditional forms of professional learning such as the use of socialmedia and Edcamps are valued, not dismissed. Digital communications, online communities, socialmedia, and digital learning environments often serve as connectors for these partnerships.
We’ve been doing this for seven years now, and it’s been a great opportunity to not only meet people but have people on the show and share their stories. It had Dan Callahan on from — at that time, he was kind of working with the EdCamp Foundation and founders, and we just did a show on, “What Is EdCamp?”.

Even if you send out a group email for people to meet at a coffee shop on a particular afternoon, you’re technically starting an unconference. In fact, once you start a legitimate event, the Edcamp Foundation is willing to send you materials and funding to help with the organization, such as breakfast. HOW TO DO A SMALL UNCONFERENCE.
The post 10 Things You Didn’t Know About Google Meet – SULS0110 appeared first on Shake Up Learning. In this episode with Shake Up Learning Trainer and Community Manager, Pam Hubler, we explore the new updates to Google Meet. 10 Things You Didn’t Know About Google Meet. Google Meet is all grown up!
Try finding an established meetup with BrewCUE , CoffeeCUE , or EdCamp , or even create one in your own area. Choose a time to meet every week, select a topic of study, do some research, and discuss what you’ve learned. The Ultimate Networking Tool: SocialMedia. No time to organize a meetup with strangers? No problem.
You have taken control of your own learning You have made the decision to be a public learner, swimming through socialmedia waters using tools like Twitter, Google+, Linked In, blogs, etc. Student voice as a key to meeting their evolving needs. But they do not send out student names on socialmedia.
Even before her transfer, Romano-Arribito began attending Edcamps , which are impromptu educator conferences that encourage organic discussion. She made new friends on socialmedia and began meeting teachers from across New Jersey for Sunday coffee.
Some nail it like EdCamps and EduCon , and others leave something to be desired. I had the privilege to meet and canoodle with innovative educators at this year’s NYSCATE in Rochester and here are a few of my favorite things about what this conference did right. A conference that gets socialmedia right.
This year, it was human-centered education, appropriate given the ascent of artificial intelligence, socialmedia, and deeper polarization. Yet, the point I rarely see brought up (unless I do) is what happens once the teacher meets the school building. And for many of us, there’s always EduColor.
Image credit: Rob Rowe We held the first Edcamp in Philadelphia in May, 2010. We used socialmedia to send out the word. The educators who had connected through socialmedia now had a chance to meet face-to-face and enhance the relationships that they had already started.
Post video or article you want staff to go over prior to a meeting, then have them discuss during your faculty meeting. Saves time in the meeting and lets meeting time be more productive. We need to be using socialmedia to tell people about the positive things that are going on in our classrooms and schools!
My building connections no longer served me well enough to meet my needs. It was considered a socialmedia application for professionals. I presented and held office in organizations in order to meet that goal to attend as many conferences as I could. My building limited me. Discussions were not in real-time.
How school leaders run faculty meetings and inservice time should be a direct reflection of the type of instruction they are seeking in the classroom. From professional learning modules to socialmedia, opportunities for learning through high quality digital content must be available for both teachers and kids.
Meeting up with my friend Rachelle Poth on the last day led to one of my greatest moments of reflection. For me, that moment was a realization that ISTE meets needs in many different ways for many different personality types. Why not meet them where they already are looking?
How to Maximize the EdCamp Experience (Click to view full size image) 6 Tips to Maximize the EdCamp Experience There are so many wonderful reasons that I love EdCamps! I enjoy both attending EdCamps as a participant, and organizing EdCamps to help other educators discover the power of the unconference! TWEET OFTEN!

Each Edcamp is organized by educators, for educators.
Currently, a group of 2nd-5th graders are meeting every Friday for one hour to learn to code these robots and create projects with them. We recently started talking on Twitter about how our kids could collaborate both synchronously and asynchronously, and we were looped in to a conversation about EdCamp Global.
I shared an intro and the agenda, Google Meet link, and Google Classroom code in an email to make sure everyone was able to get into the class Google Meet the first time. I also recorded the Google Meet so I could add that video to the last slide for them to use later if they needed to watch it again.

With easy access to websites, blogs, online PD, webinars, YouTube, workshops, and socialmedia, finding digital resources is not hard to do. Ugghh, help, I can’t keep up! Organizing what we find, however, for efficient access when we need it, might not be so easy. Librarians can (and MUST!)
You may recognize Pam, as she is very active on socialmedia and serves as one of the community managers of the Shake Up Learning Facebook Group. She has presented at FETC, the EdTechTeam Low Country Summit, and EdCamps. and listens to Podcasts like the Google Teacher Tribe to keep up with educational technology and pedagogy.
I have always supported teachers and have a record of doing so during my very public run in socialmedia for the last decade. All of this suggests to me that a Power Point presentation delivered by someone who may be lacking knowledge of effective Power Point delivery fails to meet the needs of adult learners.

Perla Zamora : I created an index with a list of the main topics such as Administrative Documents & Folders (forms, reports, procedures, yearbook folder, meetings w/parents minutes, etc.), I put an x under the date I meet with, observe, or collaborate with them.

Great group shot of #edcampusdoed w/ @arneduncan pic.twitter.com/oex1G4cNcg — Zac Chase (@MrChase) May 29, 2015 #EdCampUSA On Friday, May 29, I had the privilege to attend #EdCampUSA (aka EdCamp DOED) in Washington D.C. This was no ordinary EdCamp. This EdCamp was held at the U.S. GET YOURSELF TO AN EDCAMP!
As I helped with Edcamp gigcity for the past two years I stood amazed at how many different school districts, schools, and states were represented. So, I decided to do a socialmedia invite to #CHAedu #coffeeEDU. The first meeting took place at a donut shop and I had no idea who would actually come.
The presenters all agree that there are many hurdles, especially in a rural district, to meet the digital equity challenge. Outside of the classroom, she is the lead organizer for Edcamp Suwannee and also co-moderates #FLedChat and #RuralEdChat each week on Twitter. About the Host.
What I love most about “edcamps” is that they are 100% driven by the collective knowledge of the group. Through socialmedia, teachers will not only have access to the global dynamics of classrooms but also to learning events that are often not communicated about in school. Meetings should be more conversational.
Instead of requiring every teacher to attend the same trainings on the same topics, why not offer a range of options and allow teachers to choose sessions that best meet their needs? Celebrate teachers’ innovations publicly during staff meetings and on the school’s website and socialmedia accounts.
To cement your bond, attend a local conference together or an Edcamp. People often start by lurking on socialmedia. Hugging when you meet face-to-face for the first time is totally normal! We are excited for each other when a lesson exceeds expectations. We are supportive when the teaching gets tough.
My old iPhone 5 also took a performance hit with iOS 9 and the tiny 4″ screen was causing feelings of inadequacy at meetings where everyone was touting their 5.7″ Now, I’m still early days on Android, but for my daily web browsing, socialmedia, news and communication needs, Android has me covered.
As a collective professional learning team try to use only online tools when it comes to planning curriculum, documenting meeting minutes/resources/pd, or creating/collecting any other resources. Here are my top 5. Regardless if this is grade level, content area, or departmental it is crucial to learn, communicate, and collaborate together.

You can read the history here , but ten years ago David Warlick suggested on an ISTE wiki that we hold an "edubloggercon" (a meetup of educational bloggers), and if you want to have some fun doing a "who's-who," the picture of that first group of educational bloggers gathering (and many actually meeting for the first time) is below.
If you are in Denver, I’d love the chance to meet you face-to-face and if not we can still enjoy each other’s company virtually. I have also listed some other free events I am going to try to attend that look like great opportunities to meet other passionate educators that do not require ISTE badges. Other Free Events.
