Get ready for EdcampAVL!
Have you ever been to an educational conference where the educators create the PD topics and present to one another? That's what EdCamp is all about! No pre-created presentations or topics, but rather a group of educators wanting to learn from one another. It's a great way to network and get new ideas and this year EdcampAVL is going to be hosted at Asheville Middle School. Learn more about why Edutopia thinks Edcamps are awesome and then hop over to the EdcampAVL website to register for this free PD on Saturday, April 22, 2017.
