What Happens at EdCamp...Some Details Revealed

So y'all heard..I am going to camp!!! Cool!



Not that camp...although...I admit...Wednesday is beginning to grow on me...

EdCamp is the word on the street. I am beginning to find my new heaven. The "out of the box" style is appealing and working with passionate educators is always a plus...

Speaking of passionate educators...here is quote from Kristen Swanson.

"Teacher's Matter"

The Vampire Slayer???

NO silly, that is Kristy Swanson...

I am talking about Kristen Swanson..the organizer of EdCamp Philly!

Here she is giving a TEDx TALK.



I love this Edcamp model...It's seems to be like Porch Talk (which in my family is the talk you have as you are leaving..you know when you end up on the porch talking for an extra hour!)
That extra talk...the informal, powerful stuff that unintentionally is the best discussion that you have ever had! I think...that's Edcamp.

(Trivia: Amanda in the orange swimsuit, from the first video played Harmony in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer T.V. show...isn't that a coincidence?)

I am going to my first EdCamp this fall.
What's hilarious?...I have no idea what it is?

Never wanting to be left in the dark...I researched...

Of course a Wiki is the first destination: Edcamp

What I Found Out!

1. Apparently, Edcamps are based on Barcamps...right away I was intrigued...

Will I see Carrie and Mr. Big? Not Quite.

2. Edcamp rules are loosely based on the ones in Fight Club!

Will I see Brad Pitt? Probably not.

Check the Edcamp rules here.

3. Sessions are not planned or scheduled until EdCamp morning.




4. Most of the sessions have a technology focus...so you should bring technology to participate and even...

get this Hermione...

Attend 2 sessions at once...


5. There are variety of educators, from all levels that co-mingle...not distinct presenters or attendees.




6.It's free!!!!

Am I more than excited...yes!!! How excited?
