The other weekend several of us attended Edcamp Chicago. Edcamp, also known as an unconference, is free professional development where attendees set the schedule and lead the sessions, which are conversations not presentations. It is a great opportunity to meet other educators in the area and share ideas. Learn more about the Edcamp structure by watching the video below.
Check out some of the resources we gathered here. Make sure to look out for the next Edcamp Chicago in the fall!
Of all the resources I learned about at edcamp, Quadblogging was especially intriguing. Quadblogging is a free service that gives your students’ blogs an authentic audience. Simply register your class for Quadblogging and you will be matched with three other classrooms. Each class will be spotlighted for a week allowing the other three classes to visit and comment on the blogs. In a four week period each class as an opportunity to be the spotlighted class. Learn more about Quadblogging from the video below.
