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.

NOVEMBER 8, 2020

Through the use of social media, I realized that I didn’t really need to be “developed.” I think the same can be said when it comes to the learners we serve. 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).

Social media provides a great resource for educators, especially Twitter, to connect, share and learn with other educators. There are new forms of in-person professional development, like Edcamps , that are also a great way for educators to learn new things.

A great debate that has emerged over social media channels has been how we honor and acknowledge our educators and others in the profession. I think many of us in the connected world have been telling our stories since we signed on to a social media tool. I bet that you will make that educators day!

We held the first Edcamp in Philadelphia in May, 2010. We used social media to send out the word. The educators who had connected through social media now had a chance to meet face-to-face and enhance the relationships that they had already started. Each Edcamp is organized by educators, for educators.

Non-traditional forms of professional learning such as the use of social media and Edcamps are valued, not dismissed. Digital communications, online communities, social media, and digital learning environments often serve as connectors for these partnerships.

The enthusiasm shared by educators who understand that social media will forever impact their lives and practice is very reminiscent of the vibe expressed by dot-commers two decades ago during the first wave of the Internet boom—this is a very good thing. I’ve served as both a journalist and participant within each movement.

Last year I was at an EdCamp and in a session with about thirty other educators. I can't exactly remember what the session was about, but our conversation turned to social media, access in schools and certain things being blocked. So why would everything be blocked? They answer with - "What's up Adam, what's going on!"
