EDCAMP
I've attended Edcamp Chicago and Edcamp Madison, and I look forward to Edcamp Janesville in July. What is an Edcamp? These are free unconferences held on Saturdays for professional development opportunities. Educators gather in the morning to decide what topics they'd like to discuss which sets the agenda for the day. Then they are able to attend sessions that are of interest to them. It's a great way to network, learn new information, and share information with other educators.
I have been able to encourage several co-workers to attend an Edcamp with me, and they all agree that it has been very worthwhile. Here are some photos from Edcamp Madison:
I created a blog for the faculty with which I work as a way to teach them about the blogging experience and as a way to share new technology information with them. They were able to add comments to posts as well as create posts to share with everyone.
FACULTY MEETING
I have become a permanent fixture on the Faculty Meeting Agenda. I share lesson ideas that incorporate technology with my co-workers and give them tips and reminders about the technology available at school. I share websites and information about upcoming conferences and Edcamps that may be of interest to them.
