Edcamp Session Info
Unlike traditional conferences, Edcamp presentations are not scheduled ahead of time. Instead, the content is participant-driven, flexible and decided the morning of the event. Edcampers should come prepared to share ideas, have organic conversations and start their day of learning by posting session topics to a schedule board.
How does the schedule board work? When you show up to Edcamp, there will be an empty session board...waiting to be filled out by YOU! Attendees can write the name of a topic they would like to learn about on the chalkboard under the “Session Ideas” space. Please put your name under your suggestion because you may be asked to help start the discussion. You will not be presenting, just sharing your thoughts with others.
Do you have a great idea/topic/tool you would like to share with other participants? If you have a topic that you would like to share, add it to the “Session Board” space on the chalkboard. Don’t forget to add your name!
What kind of topics are you looking for? There are no rules--you decide what you want to learn for the day. Session topics range from new teacher tips, basic teaching practices, classroom management, blended learning, digital projects and the latest cool web tools. The possibilities are endless.
What is the #1 rule at Edcamp Hudson Valley? VOTE WITH YOUR FEET! Throughout the day, you get to decide which sessions to attend. If a session doesn’t meet your needs, it’s perfectly acceptable to get up and move to another room.
