    Hey #MOEdChat! I'm Sadie - Innovation Specialist in @MehlvilleSD and also on the #EdCampSTL planning team! I just went to #FETC, and while it is a "traditional" conference, so many of the connections I made were outside of sessions - expo hall, lunches, events, etc.

    A1: My favorite thing about the #EdCamp model is the freedom to lead your learning. Sessions are created by attendees *that day* and everything is really flexible. #MOEdChat
  • drmcclard Jan 31 @ 10:06 PM EST
    A1 Best part of EdCamp is the connections. There isn't a preformed agenda from someone that is "in charge". You meet your needs and connect with other amazing and dedicated educators. #moedchat #EdCampSTL #LearningSTL

  • MrBeckmann Jan 31 @ 10:07 PM EST
    A1- You get to be selfish... in a good way! You get the freedom to focus on what you're passionate about and engage in what you want to learn more about. #moedchat

      April, here! (3rd week I a row, by the way) Instructional Tech Content Lead from Francis Howell #moedchat
  • cskiles80 Jan 31 @ 10:07 PM EST
    A1) the best part of the EdCamp is the development of the session , just put down a question you have or a topic you want to learn about and roll from there. So much learning from these great sessions. #Moedchat #EdCampSTL
  • Bill_Huber_ Jan 31 @ 10:07 PM EST
    A1: The best thing about the EdCamp model IMO is that it is designed by educators for educators and not big box companies trying to sell a product #Moedchat
  • iammrsnix Jan 31 @ 10:07 PM EST
    A1: I think the best thing is that it facilitates informal conversations which lead with connections. At formal traditional I would probably never contribute to the session or talk to my neighbors or trade contact info. But it happens often at edcamps! #MOEdChat
  • WinkelerD Jan 31 @ 10:07 PM EST
    A1: I think the best part is the ability to learn from so many individuals. Everyone can share input if desired. #moedchat
  • Bill_Huber_ Jan 31 @ 10:07 PM EST
    A1: It’s also based on personal decisions on what to learn. The focus of our EdD dissertation is personality in the professional development planning process so this is right up my alley #MOEdChat
  • MatthewWeld Jan 31 @ 10:08 PM EST
    A1: The best part of #edcampstl? ALL. OF. IT. I've had the best conversations with the most energetic educators who are in it for all the right reasons. I finally found my tribe. #moedchat

    So true! It so often seems that at larger conferences, the conversations are controlled by the presenter with not a lot of time to connect with others in the sessions. I think that is definitely starting to change though! #moedchat

    I think this brings up a great point. We so often immediately think of "tech" as topics. But, the beauty of #EdCamp is that the topics can be *anything* and aren't locked into a conference theme. #moedchat

  • drmcclard Jan 31 @ 10:15 PM EST
    A2 Successful edCamp=talking to people you don't know. It may be uncomfortable for us introverts (yes, I really am), but it is worth it. Advice=if a session isn't what you thought it would be, go to another one. It is your time. Make it count! #MOedchat #EdCampSTL #LearningSTL
  • edcampstl Jan 31 @ 10:15 PM EST
    It is hard to do! But I think, especially at EdCamp, everyone is on the same page and totally understands that it's nothing personal. #moedchat

    A2: A successful edcamp means letting learning happen. Yes engage in the day. Don't just sit and get, take part in conversation. Try new things/ideas. What doesn't seem to work for you can work w/ brainstorming from others. #moedchat #edcampstl
  • stljferg Jan 31 @ 10:15 PM EST
    A2: Successful Edcamps need people willing to start a conversation. Participants also have to be ready to drive their own learning. First timers should be ready to soak it all in. The energy at Edcamps are always super positive and exciting! #MOEdChat #EdCampSTL #SpedcampSTL
  • thoughtsinflow Jan 31 @ 10:15 PM EST

  • clegleiter Jan 31 @ 10:15 PM EST
    A2. The collective collaboration is essential; it’s important not to hold back - if you have something to share then say it; take good notes as there will be lots of learning #Moedchat
  • TedHiff - Moderator Jan 31 @ 10:15 PM EST
    A2. Go to the sessions that will help YOU grow! Don’t worry about anyone else! #MOedchat

  • MrBeckmann Jan 31 @ 10:20 PM EST
    A2- Edcamp is a great PD to learn something new, but it's also a great PD to validate and share your thoughts about something in education. Don't be afraid to allow your two feet to take you to a session you know something about so you can share what you know. #moedchat

    A4: I’m really interested in getting more organized backchanneling or virtual input to be available for people who want to participate from abroad. It’d be cool to pull up a session board from a distant EdCamp & and participate online #MOEdChat #EdCampSTL #SpedcampSTL

    A4 Break lunch into shifts and hold back some of the different lunch types (pizza, subs, etc) so those choices are still there. Parking is always difficult too, but not sure how to fix that one unless there are shuttles from another school. #MOedchat

    A4. Maybe reaching out so that those who’ve never attended can attend. This is something all Conferences can work on. #Moedchat

      A4 As a principal, I'd love to have more administrators to learn with. The last EdCamp I attended only had two administrators. That's sad. #Moedchat
