EdCamps are a great way to connect with other educators in your area. If you are tired of the same old PD, EdCamps, the unconferences, are the way to go. They allow for professional development to be done BY Teachers FOR Teachers. To find out more, check out the hangout scheduled for September. I am an EdCamp Louisiana Organizer and I am soooo hooked on the idea of providing space and opportunities for educators to share and collaborate that I am trying to work on monthly citywide EdCamps for New Orleans.
It is empowering to be able to spend time with other like minded educators who want to share and collaborate ideas and resources to improve our craft. If EdCamps are new to you, check out the Hangout and learn more.
