Occupy professional development with Edcamp
by
This guest blog post comes from Kristen Swanson, an edcamp organizer. The next Edcamp Philly will take place May 19.We’ve all been there: A mind-numbing, passive, professional development session that aims to “fill up” your mind with knowledge and expertise. Quite often, these types of experiences leave you drowsy and uninspired.
Well, there’s a new form of professional development sweeping the nation that aims to change all that. Edcamps are unconferences for educators where learners share their experiences and their professional expertise in a collaborative, interactive learning environment.
