The day started with attendants telling the conference facilitators about the topics they were interested in learning about to help create the schedule for the day. Over the first 30-45 minutes of the day, the schedule began to take shape, and more and more people arrived with ideas on what they wanted to learn about. Then we were off!
This week I had the opportunity to attend my first EdCamp at Chapel Hill 7th & 8th Grade Center in Indianapolis. If you’re not familiar with their Google EdCamp, it’s an “unconference” which means that it’s participant driven, with conference attendants being in control of what sessions will be held and who will facilitate those sessions. For this particular EdCamp, there were three main “strands” that all the sessions fell under: Teachers; Technical Management; and Leadership and Planning.
