The time is drawing nigh for Edcamp 2015. On February 16 all teachers will meet in our high school auditorium for an introductory session including an App smack down! After preliminary directions and a schedule of YOUR topics has been created, teachers will be free to participate in sessions that they have created. There will be an official Edcamp LEE app (Thank you, Natalie!) for the morning that will include the times of the sessions and any relevant information. Please be sure that you have an idea of how the Edcamp model works before you come and bring on the ideas. We are looking forward to seeing everyone together!
This passage is taken from an article by Hadley Ferguson on the Edcamp.org site.
"Edcamps became so powerful because they recognize and honor the expertise of teachers. Each Edcamp is organized by educators, for educators. They aren’t professional development based on what someone else says that you need to learn or know and are truly participant-driven. The sessions continue to be developed on the day of the event, based on the interests and questions of the people who give up their time to learn from and with other educators. There are no outside experts; the teachers who show up, working together, are the experts."

Mrs. Kelli Duke found an interesting article that we all need to consider as we move into the next phase of technology integration concerning keyboarding at our primary and elementary campuses. Take a look at "Technology in the Classroom: Make Keyboarding Fun".
