This past Saturday I attended Edcamp Boston, an "unconference" set in the wonderful Microsoft NERD center overlooking the Charles River in Cambridge. Upon arrival at Edcamp, these are organized into session spaces and times; I popped up a small session: Then, you just GO. And by the way, the event was free.

Here are some actions we can take to invite diversity into ISTE and other conferences, events, and work we do. If they are new to presenting and feel it would be useful, offer to help them with their proposals. Invite them to present with you. Invite them to present with you. If everyone looks like you, change that.

More often than not, teachers attend some type of professional learning event and come back to their classroom not knowing where to begin; feeling overwhelmed and therefore not doing anything. This is the worse possible post-event outcome I can think of. Pick one thing, get really good at it and boom! If no, then why not?

I was even more enthralled as I realized folks were talking about the conference through Twitter.

What I love most about “edcamps” is that they are 100% driven by the collective knowledge of the group. As a frequent conference attendee/presenter, I actually love hearing from teachers who are currently in practice versus a specialist who is not. Have an unconference led by your campus teachers.

Before moving to this position, I ran across the CoffeeEDU model and decided to attend a meetup—and instantly loved how this meetup, with no agenda or formal presentation, was more like a support group than a professional learning event.
