Even if you send out a group email for people to meet at a coffee shop on a particular afternoon, you’re technically starting an unconference. In fact, once you start a legitimate event, the Edcamp Foundation is willing to send you materials and funding to help with the organization, such as breakfast. HOW TO DO A SMALL UNCONFERENCE.

I attended my first EdCamp, called JEDCampNYNJ and on a Sunday last spring. I was fortunate enough to attend incredible sessions and meet some very passionate educators. So, instead of being held hostage or suffering from horrible looks from conference participants because you left a room when a presentation or discussion is going on.

If we consider these adult motivations in terms of presenting for the purpose of professional development for educators, it is obvious that presentations should not be the conventional “sit and get” Power Point extravaganzas that we have come to recognize as commonplace at education conference sessions. Adults are relevancy oriented.

Key factors in adult learning, or the intrinsic motivations for adults to learn are ownership of the learning to meet personal needs and being able to use tomorrow what’s learned today. Most professional development today is often based on Power Point Presentations. The Unconference or the Edcamp Model is completely different.

Typical answer: Not present. While we would like to believe every meeting, presentation, or breakout workshop was meaningful, relevant, and engaging, the truth is sometimes they aren’t. Typically, if someone is bored at a meeting or event, they may be seen as rude. Maybe the problem is not that someone is bored.

All too often in education – whether that be at a conference, in a professional learning workshop, or even at a faculty meeting, we have become used to one person in the room being the “expert”, or the “Oz” around a particular topic.
