If I haven't convinced you yet, keep reading, but I will say, a major reason why you should go to at least one EdCamp is that they are all completely free. EdCamps usually only have a free breakfast. You might be thinking, "There's no such thing as a free lunch," and you're right.
Below is my take on Ed Camps based on my first experience.ĮdCamp is FREE. JUST GO! So I did and I will certainly be going to many more. The venue was only fifteen minutes from my apartment. As I started looking for a potential first EdCamp, EdCamp NJ and EdCamp NY had already passed, and when I was about to give up, there it was: EdCamp Blitz. At the very least though, you could say I was intrigued. Even with that said, I was rather certain that I would be attending on my own, which also caused me great anxiety. It appeared to me, that many of my education "role models" frequently present and speak. However, since I've been rather active on Twitter since September, which I use as professional development as well, I started noticing quit a bit of buzz around these EdCamps. During my first two years of teaching no other teachers had ever mentioned to me they'd gone to an EdCamp or told me anything about them.
Being somewhat new to professional development that occurs outside of my school district, I was rather curious. Recently I attended my first ever EdCamp in Woodbridge, NJ called EdCamp Blitz.
