What are examples of maker learning projects in my subject area? Where can I learn about what making is from someone who is doing it?

Technically, if one trusts the etymology, the best way for a teacher to confer with other educators would be an educator conference.

Edcamp is a great series of free, unconferences for educators. The Edcamp model is unique in that attendees set the agenda the morning of the conference and the sessions are not led by one person, but are rather a collaboration of both the facilitator and attendees. EdCamp is coming back to Connecticut this summer.

Whereas in the beginning, it felt more focused on digital learning and ed-tech, this year felt more like it was a hub for relevant education conversations. Usually, educators’ first experience with a conference is one that everyone discusses or that the district approves for funding. And that they did.

We can all agree that professional development is essential in any profession, especially education. It is an opportunity to become better at what we do as well as gain knowledge on new pedagogical techniques, learning theories, leadership strategies, technologies, and federal/state mandates.
