I attended my first EdcampOKC this spring. An EdCamp is a type of education conference designed to
provide professional development for educators focusing solely on conversations
about education. Attendees gather informally to share ideas and to attend a
variety of sessions, run by colleagues and fellow educators. The sessions are
conversational events featuring discussions, demonstrations, interactions
between participants, discourse about all things education.
There are all kinds of educators who attend, including teachers, administrators, technology directors, librarians, and parents. If you have never attended an EdCamp, I highly suggest doing so. Here is a link to a wiki created to list all the EdCamps which are being held across the world, as well as hints to use if you would like to host one.
It was great to meet the faces behind the names of many people who are my Twitter pals!
Here are some pictures of the event:
