A small set of educators could always create an Edcamp , a model in need of revival in our times. Of course, that wasn’t always the case for many of the conferences I attended even ten years ago. But at SXSW EDU, many of the same people who attended Dr. Crenshaw’s talk about her work also attended panels on AI.

What’s the course of action here? We also have examples of teachers building their professional sustenance in the form of Edcamps, unconferences, and meetups. The answer is more complicated than the narrative allows. For others, it’s that city or statewide convening focused on a particular concern.

They want the freedom to chart their own learning course while receiving support from the organization to do so. It has become a tug of war, in a sense, as districts use this valuable time, which equates to only a day or two in many cases, to focus on organizational needs. Each is hyperlinked to additional information.

The traditional forms of sit-and-get PD are giving way to MOOCs, webinars, Edcamps and flipped learning. Traditional PD models can be flipped too, where work is done before to learn basic skills via video or through course work. I’ve been a part of a lot of successful PD and been a part of a lot of not so good PD.

And of course for me, I'm wondering if digital discussion boards in an LMS might be a solution to give the "quietest student a voice" a quote about technology I often requote from Jerry Blumengarten. You have to know who your students are to fill the needs. That is the worst thing to happen in education.

How far do we go with adults in letting them discover and create on their own?
