I spend several Saturdays a year at an Edcamp , an unconference-style professional development (PD) for all educators. You might be wondering why I would give up a Saturday to attend an Edcamp, so here are 10 reasons why you will love Edcamps as much as I do. The energy at an Edcamp is electric!

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.

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. Like most social media-friendly people, I figured I should grab a username (I’m @classtechtips on CH) that matched my Twitter and Instagram profiles while I waited.

I hadn''t ever been to an EdCamp before, so to attend two in two days was quite amazing. One event was in person, the other was online (a first not only for me, but for edcamps!). So this is Part I: mainly about the resources I gathered at EdCamp Honolulu , October 19, 2013. Part II will be about EdCamp Online. ?

Upon arrival at Edcamp, these are organized into session spaces and times; I popped up a small session: Then, you just GO. Smackdown" sharing session. And by the way, the event was free.

For larger, more efficient unconferences, the Edcamp Foundation has a site full of resources and ideas for anybody who wants to organize their own “Edcamp,” which is simply a well-articulated version of an education unconference. The Edcamp Foundation puts the Rule of Two Feet near the top of their list of tenets.

I was an early adopter of Twitter as a means of connecting with other educators, thanks in large part to Will Richardson and Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach. One night, while I was following my Twitter feed, I saw that a number of people that I knew on Twitter were actually together at a coffeehouse in downtown Philadelphia.

NOVEMBER 8, 2020

In March of 2009, I began to use Twitter, and it was at this time that I began to create a Personal Learning Network (PLN). The experiences where I had some level of choice were the most meaningful to me and resulted in real changes to my educational practice. I think the same can be said when it comes to the learners we serve.

The basic principle of Twitter is that if you follow ten people on Twitter, you will only see the tweets of those ten people. The ideal way to follow someone back is to first examine his or her Twitter Profile, which has public access. It speaks to their Twitter interaction. The number of people I follow is almost 3,500.

Twitter Chats -Like blogging I've written about the benefits of hashtags and Twitter chats many times. The Educational Twitter Chats calendar is a great place to start to find a specific chat for a topic you are interested in or even more simply a hashtag to follow to see what others are sharing. Edcamps can help fill that void.
