As the maker movement continues to expand, more and more educators are asking these questions. One way to address them is by creating opportunities and spaces for educators to come together and share the work they are doing with their students. All Edcamps can receive materials to facilitate a making activity at their event.

Edcamps are the "unconference". 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.

Professional Development for educators is something that I believe still needs to be improved. Many educators have turned online for some of their professional development. Social media provides a great resource for educators, especially Twitter, to connect, share and learn with other educators.

The idea of a connected educator is nothing new, but the platforms through which educators can find other educators, share ideas, and learn are growing. With the feel of an in-person conference and the energy of an Edcamp, educators are finding this audio app is a new place to connect with educators from around the world.

For the better part of my educational career, I always referred to any type of learning to assist me as a teacher or administrator as professional development (PD). The experiences where I had some level of choice were the most meaningful to me and resulted in real changes to my educational practice.

This year, it was human-centered education, appropriate given the ascent of artificial intelligence, social media, and deeper polarization. In this, policymakers put too much blame on schools of education and not enough on what happens when a new teacher has to negotiate what they’ve learned with the culture of the school and system.

This happens to educators more often that we can count. Many schools and districts are trying to do the right thing by meeting the needs of as many educators as possible when it comes to professional learning.
