This weekend's #EdCampNJ was truly a meeting of the minds. Educators and tech enthusiasts were summoned from as far as Wisconsin in North Brunswick, NJ on Saturday, 11/23. This notoriously different "unconference" was a first for me.
From the moment you walked into Linwood Middle School, the unprecedented energy levels were complimented by organized chaos. Teachers, administrators, and specialists were buzzing over the "live" session sign-ups. A Google doc was launched the smartphone of all attendees and the fun began. Sessions were conducted and facilitated by the attendees. The dynamic schedule included everything from "LMS for Young Learners" to my personal favorite, "Appy Hour" (Thanks, Dana! @Sirotiak02).
Contributions, best practices and ideas flowed through each session freely.
Hope to make this an annual event with Janet @jantechnj and Matt @sheatech.
Next year's EdCamp: Saturday, 11/22/2014
