Edcamp is Online!

In honor of Connected Educator Month, the Edcamp Foundation is presenting the first virtual Edcamp experience on October 25, 2013. If you have ever attended an Edcamp, (I've written about my experience here.) you already know unique the experience is. Promoted as a free "unconference" this online event will bring together everyone via the web. You can register and read more about Edcamp Online here. The video below is a great overview of Edcamp.

Here's What You Missed at Edcamp Philly...

That's me sharing w/other campers.
Saturday, May 18 was partly cloudy and cool in Philadelphia, PA, but inside the Wharton School of Business at UPenn it was a sunny and awesome day. The third annual Edcamp got underway at 10 AM with session one and ended close to 4 PM with a smackdown. Having left New Jersey at 6:45 AM with my two colleagues from work, we were ready for a day of learning, sharing and discussing all topics related to technology and education. Each and every session on the schedule had a corresponding Google Doc, where everyone could contribute their ideas, comments and notes. There were two morning sessions and two in the afternoon, followed by everyone meeting in the auditorium for a smackdown, where we shared cool apps and sites with each other. I presented a session on Google Apps and Drive which grew a decent crowd and lots of great questions. There was also a premiere of the first Flocabulary Edcamp Rap.



The Edcamp movement began three years ago and has become known all over the world. Here's a list of the upcoming Edcamps. Maybe I'll see you at the next one.......
