EdCamps: Free Professional Development for Teachers by Teachers
EdCamp Quinte is a series of unconference days where teachers get together and share ideas.
What Does That Mean?
Come enjoy a series of days with colleagues from the Quinte area and beyond. Arrive with an idea for a session you may wish to lead or just participate as a learner. A session might explore a teaching with technology tool, a discussion about best practices, or a collaborative presentation with multiple facilitators.
During our first hour together, you will have time to meet other teachers over coffee. There will be an empty session board where you and all attendees can post session titles.
Over the course of the day you will have an opportunity to join in on sessions of your choosing. The method is very similar to the Minds on Media Day conducted by ECOO. When you are ready to move to another session, simply get up and move on to another room.
You'll learn something new, maybe make a new friend, and receive information you can immediately apply in your classroom and professional life!
What is the Cost?
EdCamp Quinte is free. Information regarding lunch is provided on the Food page.
What Should I Bring?
Bring a friend. A laptop with wireless Internet is useful. It will allow you to view the session board online, take notes, and view websites discussed throughout the day.
How Do I Register?
The first two meetings (March 5 + May 14, 2011), we had walk-in registrations.
For EdCampQuinte #3, we are letting folks register in advance via EventBrite.
