Ready or not, here it comes! Lee County will host its first ever Edcamp on Monday, February 16 beginning at 8:00. Remember that tickets may be submitted online before 4:00 on Friday, February 13 or via the topics suggestion table beginning at 7:30 Monday morning. Sessions for discussion will be formulated by what the teachers in Lee County say are important issues. Our own Chet Dreschel will host the morning kick off in the Robert Clay auditorium at Lee County High School. Teachers from across our system will share apps in the App Smackdown. Each teacher will have 60 seconds to tell you how this app has been beneficial. You will see and hear what our schools are doing with innovative teaching practices and technology integration. You will be inspired and uplifted at the gains we are making across all grade levels and in all areas. As the time in the auditorium ends, you will decide which of the first sessions you will attend and off you go! Pick up a water bottle and snack provided by all the schools in the system in the lobby on your way to session 1. Please bring your electronic devices for any sessions that may require technology or have good ole paper and pen to take notes. There will surely be some information that you will want to take from each session. There will be Edcamp facilitator representatives from each school who are helping with guidance to the correct classrooms and keeping of the sign in sheets and sometimes the discussion starters. A big thank you to this group. Their names are listed via the Edcamp app. By the way, see last week's blog post for the QR code that you can scan to get the up to the minute information about Edcamp Lee. There are other facilitators who have agreed to begin the sessions as well. The cafeteria and the media center will house the sessions with the most participants. Remember that within these larger groups, you can break into smaller groups by grade level, subject area, etc., whatever you see fit. Our instructional supervisors and our district curriculum directors, along with Natalie and I, will also be available to help in discussions. High school media specialists, Haley and Kelly, will be our tech people for the morning but all media specialists have agreed to help as needed.
