I guess I might as well start this series with my soapbox message- the importance that educators continue to be learners and what that looks like in the digital age. Educators: Set professional learning goals to explore and apply pedagogical approaches made possible by technology and reflect on their effectiveness.

The first session revolved around the very real challenges of integrating technology into classroom instruction from the perspective of two willing (but under supported by their district) teachers. Upon returning home, I got to thinking, we should aspire to have edCamps happening on school campuses every day.

Despite the complexities of the moment, educators are creative, resourceful problem-solvers. Most agree there are no failsafe options.

Technically, if one trusts the etymology, the best way for a teacher to confer with other educators would be an educator conference. If you’re looking for something more formal, the same kind of gathering can take place at a school site, ideally one with Wi-Fi and at least a few accessible classrooms.
