On one day in August before the students came, and again in January of this year we set up Edcamp style PD days. While our PD days weren't like the traditional Edcamp style (we actually came up with the choices instead of the teachers making the choices), the teachers found the days to be useful.

When asked to describe what demoralization feels like, she says it was actually something of a relief when she discovered the concept—almost like giving it a name and a definition allowed her to start addressing it. But being in the suburbs, it felt to her more like a creep than an outright deluge.

Educators are, by definition, continuous learners. They spend their careers striving to become better practitioners, whether through formal professional development activities like workshops and in-service days, or informal engagements like Twitter chats, EdCamps, and virtual coaching and communities.

I definitely don’t have all of the answers, but I have a ton of ideas. Had I not had a few articles published and read by local educators, I might not have attended my first EdCamp. Had I not attended my first EdCamp, I wouldn’t have been introduced to so many great tools like Flipgrid and Peardeck!

It is definitely convenient, but does this lead to better learning in the classroom? Look at EdCamp. But innovation is a way of thinking, not simply the way we use technology. For example, is using a “scantron” to mark multiple choice exams innovative? My answer is that it could actually lead to worse learning, faster.

I’ve talked to some administrators who say, “Hey, we did an EdCamp last month, and the teachers loved it. This, I would fee is a truer definition of the word engagement than how you would typically hear it used in some parts of the educational stratosphere today, where it’s kids active and doing things. They love that autonomy.”.

As a classroom teacher, I would have definitely described myself as a “Tech-Fearless Educator”. I’ve always enjoyed exploring to learn and definitely embraced that in my own teaching and learning. What I love most about “edcamps” is that they are 100% driven by the collective knowledge of the group.

When Sean Crevier accidentally wandered into the room where educators at a Milwaukee Edcamp were discussing 20 percent time projects, also known as Genius Hour , he stayed only out of politeness. By far the most important step to ensure these projects go smoothly, in his experience, is the problem definition phase.

Many years ago I would create fake websites that made no sense to what my students were studying about and send them to the web address. Digital literacy.
