What Is Edcamp?

Edcamp is a free, teacher-driven professional development opportunity in which teachers decide what they want to learn, and also share ideas with others.  This sort of "unconference" relies on teachers present at the conference to create the day's agenda, and then teachers use the "rule of two feet" to move from conversation to conversation until they find the session that speaks to them.  Each conversation allows teachers to network with others, share new ideas, and expand their personal learning networks while recharging their batteries for their teaching practice.  

Who should come to Edcamp?  

  • teachers
  • administrators
  • teachers' aides
  • public and private school staff
  • post secondary educators
  • district leaders
  • community education advocates

Yes, but are there prizes?

Lucky you!  There will be door prizes,  free breakfast, lunch, and snacks, and  some fun activities to ensure that this is nothing like any professional development you've ever experienced! 

Awesome!  How much are tickets?

Edcamp is and always will be free.

What should I bring?

  • Your devices, if you have any (but if you don't, that's OK, too.)
  • Your social media username (if you don't have any, now's the time to set those up for easy networking after Edcamp!)
  • Your friends -- Edcamp is free, so why not?  The more, the merrier!
  • Your ideas (what are you awesome at?)
  • Your questions (what do you want to learn about?)
  • Your feet (so you can walk to another conversation if you aren't feeling the one you're in.)
  • Your enthusiasm for learning and teaching.
  • A collaborative attitude.
  • A desire to make new friends.
