Hi there...I am interested in joining the chat. I love EdCamps, what is the #BSD7chat?

MrHagemeister Nov 2 @ 10:04 PM EDT

I believe the purpose of Edcamp is to provide teachers more voice and choice than traditions PD #bsd7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Nov 2 @ 10:04 PM EDT

Ahh, I am way over in MA. I just may stick around! #bsd7chat

In reply to @rachelmarker

rachelmarker - Moderator Nov 2 @ 10:06 PM EDT

A1 I'd say the purpose of #edcamp is to allow Ts to drive their own learning. Make it what you want so you can grow your craft! #BSD7chat

BHSInstruction Nov 2 @ 10:06 PM EDT

Thanks, Rachel. #BSD7chat

BSD7chat Nov 2 @ 10:07 PM EDT

Q2: How is Edcamp PD different from "traditional" PD? #BSD7chat @AdrianAdvinMT @MrHagemeister @rachelmarker

In reply to @AdrianAdvinMT, @MrHagemeister, @rachelmarker

rachelmarker - Moderator Nov 2 @ 10:07 PM EDT

Woot! I grew up in MA. :) Lexington and Wayland. Where are you? #BSD7chat

In reply to @daleyscience

rachelmarker - Moderator Nov 2 @ 10:07 PM EDT

Kristin, can you share how #edcamp was a game-changer for you? #BSD7chat

daleyscience Nov 2 @ 10:07 PM EDT

That's awesome. EdCamp was a game-changer for me!
In reply to @rachelmarker

rachelmarker - Moderator Nov 2 @ 10:08 PM EDT

Kelsey! Join us in #BSD7chat! We're talking #edcamp. :)

MrHagemeister Nov 2 @ 10:08 PM EDT

A2. EdCamp provides more of a colab enviro for Ts than does traditional PD #bsd7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Nov 2 @ 10:09 PM EDT

Sturbridge Village! An annual visit for our family. :) Small world! #BSD7chat

In reply to @daleyscience

rachelmarker - Moderator Nov 2 @ 10:09 PM EDT

A2 Edcamps allow Ts to pursue the PD they want *now* and can use *tmrw* in class. #TeacherDriven #BSD7chat

daleyscience Nov 2 @ 10:10 PM EDT

I am happy to share how edcamp was a game changer. It wasn't boring & I got to choose topics and got to choose to listen or lead. #BSD7chat

daleyscience Nov 2 @ 10:10 PM EDT

Yes it is! #BSD7chat

In reply to @rachelmarker

hirsch_tara Nov 2 @ 10:10 PM EDT

A1: I'm just learning but my impression is it's a non-conference conference. #bsd7chat

ka_ketterling Nov 2 @ 10:11 PM EDT

A1 This is my first edcamp! I don't feel have a strong understanding yet, but am excited to learn more this weekend. #BSD7chat

In reply to @BSD7chat, @AdrianAdvinMT, @MrHagemeister, @rachelmarker

rachelmarker - Moderator Nov 2 @ 10:11 PM EDT

Quite true. No keynotes, no single "experts". Everyone in the room = the experts of the day! #BetterTogether #BSD7chat

Q3 is up! #BSD7chat @AdrianAdvinMT @MrHagemeister @rachelmarker

In reply to @AdrianAdvinMT, @MrHagemeister, @rachelmarker

daleyscience Nov 2 @ 10:12 PM EDT

A2 EdCamp is different because of choices from topics to "!voting with your feet" #BSD7chat

hirsch_tara Nov 2 @ 10:12 PM EDT

A2: You get to be an active participant instead of a sit and get. So collaborative! #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Nov 2 @ 10:12 PM EDT

It's going to be the first #edcamp for many in attendance! So exciting. Crux: You guys drive the learning/sharing. #BSD7chat

In reply to @ka_ketterling

MrHagemeister Nov 2 @ 10:13 PM EDT

A3 I'm super pumped about growing my PLN. Any kind of learning in any form is A-Okay by me! #bsd7chat

daleyscience Nov 2 @ 10:14 PM EDT

My no. 1 take-away from edcamp was learning about and becoming part of the #tlap #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Nov 2 @ 10:14 PM EDT

'Voting with your feet' is great... if the session isn't what you'd hoped, just switch rooms! #BSD7chat

daleyscience Nov 2 @ 10:12 PM EDT

rachelmarker - Moderator Nov 2 @ 10:14 PM EDT

Exactly! #BSD7chat

hirsch_tara Nov 2 @ 10:13 PM EDT

we'll have SO many experts willing to share their practice! Ts learning from Ts!
In reply to @rachelmarker

rachelmarker - Moderator Nov 2 @ 10:15 PM EDT

The face-to-face connections make the day powerful. And there's an incredible vibe around #sharing--ideas, resources, apps, etc. #BSD7chat

watsonmontana Nov 2 @ 10:16 PM EDT

A3: I learned that the effectiveness of each session is clearly dependent on the willingness of participants to get involved. #bsd7Chat

daleyscience Nov 2 @ 10:16 PM EDT

Another memorable session was called "love it or hate it". Topics announced and you go to the side of the room you agree with. #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Nov 2 @ 10:16 PM EDT

Awesome. We have a #tlap book to raffle off from @burgessdave himself! Woot! #BSD7chat

In reply to @daleyscience, @burgessdave

ka_ketterling Nov 2 @ 10:16 PM EDT

A3I hope to learn ideas with different types of technology. I wouldn't be disappointed to hear more about the Breakout activities #BSD7chat

A3. Oops! #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Nov 2 @ 10:17 PM EDT

So true. I've experienced the same. What we bring to the discussion helps define the session. Be willing to listen and share! #BSD7chat

watsonmontana Nov 2 @ 10:16 PM EDT

A3: I learned that the effectiveness of each session is clearly dependent on the willingness of participants to get involved. #bsd7Chat

daleyscience Nov 2 @ 10:17 PM EDT

EdCamp is conducted the way we want our Ss to learn. Be an active participant not a body. #BSD7chat

BSD7chat Nov 2 @ 10:18 PM EDT

Q4 How best to share at #edcamp? #BSD7chat @AdrianAdvinMT @MrHagemeister @rachelmarker

In reply to @AdrianAdvinMT, @MrHagemeister, @rachelmarker

rachelmarker - Moderator Nov 2 @ 10:18 PM EDT

You can put your specific tech "want to learns" on post-its at the beginning of the day. Start your list! #BSD7chat

In reply to @ka_ketterling

rachelmarker - Moderator Nov 2 @ 10:19 PM EDT

This sounds cool! Can you explain more? Is this how sessions were decided?! Or within the breakouts? #BSD7chat

In reply to @daleyscience

MrHagemeister Nov 2 @ 10:19 PM EDT

A4. Tweet Tweet Tweet. Also, ensure that someone in the room is taking notes in the pre-established Google Doc #bsd7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Nov 2 @ 10:19 PM EDT

It's not just for our district! So glad you're here! Where do you teach? #BSD7chat

ka_ketterling Nov 2 @ 10:19 PM EDT

A4 I think Twitter is a great way. I love how people can attach links with great resources that are easily accessible at all times #BSD7chat

In reply to @BSD7chat, @AdrianAdvinMT, @MrHagemeister, @rachelmarker

BHSInstruction Nov 2 @ 10:19 PM EDT

In reply to @kelseykimpton

daleyscience Nov 2 @ 10:20 PM EDT

A4 Not sure what you have set up, but I like having a Google doc for each session's notes #BSD7chat

kelseykimpton Nov 2 @ 10:21 PM EDT

A4 lots of tweets to share ideas and resources. #BSD7chat

hirsch_tara Nov 2 @ 10:21 PM EDT

A4: Following Ts and the #, bring charging cords! #BSD7chat

daleyscience Nov 2 @ 10:22 PM EDT

During the morning people offered up ideas, they were put up on the screen and you planned your sessions. #BSD7chat

In reply to @rachelmarker

rachelmarker - Moderator Nov 2 @ 10:22 PM EDT

Yes, we will have a Google Doc for each session. All linked within a google sheet showing the day's schedule. #BSD7chat

daleyscience Nov 2 @ 10:20 PM EDT

A4 Not sure what you have set up, but I like having a Google doc for each session's notes #BSD7chat

daleyscience Nov 2 @ 10:23 PM EDT

Love it/Hate it was a break out session run by 2 teachers at that school.They just threw out topics, we made convo #BSD7chat

In reply to @rachelmarker

kelseykimpton Nov 2 @ 10:26 PM EDT

A5 I'm new to edcamp, but I'm thinking it might have some similarities to #geniushour. Learning, creating, & sharing interests. #BSD7chat

MrHagemeister Nov 2 @ 10:26 PM EDT

A5. Use new found PLN members & comm w/ each other when trying what you learned. It's too easy to fall back into old habits. #bsd7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Nov 2 @ 10:27 PM EDT

A5 Revisit the session notes. Connect w Ts implementing the ideas that excite you. Ask lots of Qs during&after #edcamp. #BSD7chat

daleyscience Nov 2 @ 10:27 PM EDT

A5 Easy answer, offer choices. More challenging...teach a unit EdCamp style. Haven't tried yet, but bucket list! #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Nov 2 @ 10:27 PM EDT

A great parallel. All about choice and pursuing your passions! #BSD7chat

In reply to @kelseykimpton

rachelmarker - Moderator Nov 2 @ 10:28 PM EDT

A5 Choose 1 or 2 new ideas to implement and focus on those. Don't let the inspiration slip away! #BSD7chat

MrHagemeister Nov 2 @ 10:29 PM EDT

Alright team I'm off to the airport to pick up my wife. I'll see many of you on Saturday for #edcampbigsky! #bsd7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Nov 2 @ 10:29 PM EDT

Agree. Offering Ss choice is incredibly powerful. EdCamp style unit is like #GeniusHour! Pursue your passions. #BSD7chat
