At EdCamp *Everyone* is an expert with something to share!
Why EdCamp?
What is EdCamp?
EdCamp is a new conference model built on collaboration. Unlike traditional conferences, sessions are not planned or scheduled until the morning of the event using a scheduling board on which attendees can place an index card with their session on it.
EdCamp is free!
Sessions range from basic conversations around teaching methods to sharing digital projects and ideas. Many have a technology focus and include sessions about using technology in the classroom, however a technology focus is not necessary.

Why should I attend?
Attendees will connect with each other on a professional level to share ideas, network, learn from and with each other. It's a day of fun, eating, sharing, learning, and meeting new educators. You will be able to take your learning right back to your classroom. It's free!

Who should attend?
Anyone involved in education: superintendents, principals, directors, counselors, teachers, special ed teachers, students...anyone is encouraged and invited to attend! Bring a friend...or a few!
What should I bring?
It is suggested that you bring a laptop or other digital device to connect to the Internet as many presentations will be interactive and there may be back channel conversations going on. It is also a great way to be two places at once when you want to attend two different sessions at the same time.
