WHAT IS EDCAMP?

EdCamp is a FREE "unconference," designed to let teachers take back professional development! Rather than paying expensive presenters, we learn from and teach each other! Come enjoy a day of discussion and networking with PK-16 educators from surrounding communities.  Bring an idea for a session that you would like to lead or come with the anticipation of a full day of learning. A session might explore a technology tool, a discussion about best practices, or a collaborative presentation with multiple facilitators. Check out this video from EdCampMSP, which explains what EdCamp is all about!
