If you have not registered for do it soon! We have a max of 300 and we are getting close to cutoff!
A1, rookie teachers benefit from a setting of conversations. Edcamps...more conducive for questions needing to be asked.
I'm Stephanie Corn and I'm a student at . I've participated in EdCamp global.
. I would like to know the answer to that!
Definitely not to the "God father" of šš
Iād have rather chosen Eddie Vedder, just couldnāt think of a song to relate it with
Thereās always room for a Hime ! As long as you bring
. We can make a little shrine together like reverse voodoo, or a shoebox like your students' room assignment.
A2: It's my first so I'm just looking forward to getting a bit of everything there has to offer
Kristin Atchley, Student Advocacy Coordinator, Norman High. Arriving late just put ās kids to bed.
I say skip curious and dive in with
This right here is why I ... is my people! :) (except I didn't sign up, I mean there is that pesky detail)
A3: If it isnāt your jam, move on with your life and go learn something somewhere else.
A3 - if a session is not what you are interested in, use your 2 feet and move on
A3 If the session isn't what you were expecting, or gets hijacked, walkout and find a better room
A3 If the session is not for you, get up and go to another one.
A3) It means move on when a session is not suiting your mojo!
A1: Itās a new setting for this counselorish person
A3: No 1 is offended if U go 2 1 session & decide itās not for you. Leave & find something that is. We want you to lrn & enjoy!
I like to throw down a folder or something and grunt in exasperation, just for effect.
A2 if I were able to attend I would be interested in learning authentic ways to use tech in early childhood...growth mindset
I hear you. and I have problems during chats too.
Any other dual educator households participating tonight? https://t.co/o3Ye6TotbV
Kristin Atchley, Student Advocacy Coordinator, Norman High. Arriving late just put ās kids to bed.
A2: Iāve heard so much about Edcamp from all you people, canāt wait to experience it for real.
Q3) Rule of 2 feet: if the session isnāt giving you what you need, use your 2 feet and find one that does!
then loudly stand up and proclaim you are moving on??
A3: move on if it isn't your style. Walk and talk.
A3: If choice not what hoped, get up and use your two feet to get to your second choice!
good to see tweeting it up!
A3 If you try something and don't want to stay, then don't stay.
A3: Take charge of your own learning!
A3 If that topic isn't interesting for you, use your two feet to leave and find a different one..
A3: The rule of 2 ft=part move to a new sess if 1 u are in isn't meet ur needs. Get up+leave=no feel hurt! https://t.co/76lQrKq9ow
A3) One I went to4 sessions in a 45 minute time period!
A3: Good to know beforehand! Great question!
A3) no stuffy manners or academic conference rules, if it's not your bag, you move on to the next gig, meaningful interaction
A3: We all go into sessions we wish we could leave.. now you can! Take it or ditch it! Its your PD!
we've done , but I want 2 keep pushing Ss 2 code-not just when they have time 2 on their own.
Well, real family comes just a smidge before family. : )
Listen here - - allows you to grow that group! So much stuff that goes so much longer than an hour!
A3 let you feet do the talk'nāit's not what you needāyou're free to start walk'n
A3: Although I have never attended an EdCamp, it is the rule where you can leave a session if it doesn't interest you
that's good to know! I'm not always quick to make a decision so I like the option of leavingš
A3) I've always used the rule of 2, even in a regular conference. It just feels more comfortable at
A3: Two Feet...i'm new but ill say...it's when you move around to the sessions you think you'd benefit from the most (Y)
I am usually checking out twitter and the to see if there is another session hopping
Great idea https://t.co/vYEUyV7puH
I am usually checking out twitter and the to see if there is another session hopping
I'm excited to find out other people's ideas concerning education in Oklahoma.
A3: Don't be afraid to hurt feelings, just get up and go. You have to look out for #1 when it comes to PD.
I know folks that make two or three sessions per block - its no thang!
Always hate when I go to TCEA and all the doors are locked
LOL...and you don't get in trouble for talking!! https://t.co/Abv2yvivcw
A3) I've always used the rule of 2, even in a regular conference. It just feels more comfortable at
thanks for the resource! I'll check it out!
A2: I am excited to learn anything from anyone since I am a student working towards becoming a teacher!
A4 If your yawning, your not growing. Need to find one that gets your blood going.
Plus I am bad at being in the wrong session. I go in, chat awhile, and realize oops not where I'm supposed to be, and leave.
A4: Because I am selfish with my PD. I love to learn and time is precious!
A4: It's all about gaining value to you; the law tells those remaining it's a personal decision.
A4) The rule of 2 ft is important b/c if I am not getting something I can use or bring back then it is a wasted opportunity to learn
A4: edcamp is about you being in control of your pd. Without it the "presenter" is now on control. https://t.co/WerEmrr3nu
A4: So you can individualize your own learning!
A4: The rule of two feet is important because time is the most irreplaceable thing for teachers; donāt waste it or mine.
A4 - sometimes you get into a session and itās something you may already know, it lessens wasted time https://t.co/4AT7XQgvW0
Reinforces the idea that no one owns a session so you can't hurt some ones feelings if you leave
A4: I fall over a lot w/ only one, and 3 just get in the way
Creeping in late. Craig Wall, Supt., Valliant
Amy Presley, History with Broken Arrow High joining late
Ready to join this Twitter chat and see what's going in OK! I'm a M.Ed student with a concentration in elem ed.
A4: Every teacher has a different environment and some topics may not apply to everyone.
I had to think about that for a minute.. ha ha
This is one place we welcome creepers.
- he is actually super smooth on his feetā¦so it appearedā¦ https://t.co/z0xxXnxw2Q
A4: I fall over a lot w/ only one, and 3 just get in the way
oh, but those stares and glares when you pack up and leave a session at regular PD.
A4: Some sweet recognition that we're professionals and know what we need in order to do what we do.
A4 might as well make the time I'm using to attend a workshop meaningful for me and ultimately my Ss
I try to divide my day between things that are new to me and things that I can contribute to
A4: It is all about my needs at EdCamp. I take my PD very seriously.
A4 No one wants to waste their time involved in a discussion that's not meaningful for them...keeps it meaningful!
A4: Because you'll learn more and use more in your classroom/school if you attend sessions that really interest you
A4: Time is way too precious to waste on something not life giving. Use your time wisely and find something that fits, needed.
Welcome. Hope you can make this Saturday as well.
A4 - itās kind of like the idea from teach like a pirate, would a S stay in my room if they had a 2 feet rule
A4: It allows me to pop into several sessions & not worry at being "rude" for doing so
A4) Because time is expensive and when you're trying to move at full throttle it doesn't help to sight see.
welcome! I know you'll find helpful and....AWESOME!
A4. The two feet rule- to make sure that everyone is receiving new and beneficial information.
It really makes a point when you are 20 ppl deep in the row.
Q4) Even though I've never been, it's comforting to know I wont be stuck in a session I'm not interested in or growing.
And thatās a season āKids would like to leave your classroom when this happensā¦ā
We will miss everyone, but so excited to be gram and pop for the weekend!
This... https://t.co/OzFFTl8TM0
A4: Some sweet recognition that we're professionals and know what we need in order to do what we do.

Every T that thinks every S is worth the effort
A6: Because it is truly about you and what you need to make yourself better.
A6) It is a much more engaging form of pd for educators at all levels
Debbie Hoffman Cache 5/6 Prin. Running late tonight
A6: because it is participant driven. It is timely. It is relevant. It is immediately applicable.
A6: No emphasis except collaborating to learn...
A6 - itās actual educators who are in the trenches daily, not meta-analysis experts who havenāt seen a classroom in years
Swish will be in BA, at another PD...drat the fact there are too few Saturdays in the Spring.
A6) Because participants arenāt being force fed something they donāt want

because, obvious. because I've *so* admired her educatory stuff from afar. https://t.co/if7B2A44UG
Great question! Please name your favorite rockstar
A6 It is informal. Everyone shares ideas. It is not your usual PD.
It's a CPS thing i guess!
A6) The unconference works b/c it is self differentiated learning for each individual; PD to fit our current needs.
Yea, I'm going to need to hear about this
A6: Bc it's relaxed and so casual. Ts need a come as you are atmosphere. If you want to learn you will learn.
A6: Because everyone can get out of it what they choose! Teachers like choices!
A6: Because we need a place where the learning is 100% in the hands of the learners.. Sad it takes an
A6 freedom to choose what is best for me; everyone can share what they are doing
A6: There is no "sit and get". The learning is done through discussion/inquiry and collaboration.

Retweeted Dena Rogers ():
A2 - New ideas, new technology, love learning anything I can steal from other educators.

A6: it makes you feel in charge of your own learning and able to learn what fits you the most! https://t.co/PS9Uye5poc
I wish I had been there in real life instead of hearing about it after the factā¦

A6: Again, some sweet recognition of T's professional stature. Not that we're not swimming in it already, of course. ;)
A6) is "unconference" model connected with picking and choosing what session you want to attend??
A6: Most everything talked about is being discussed by actual practitioners.
A6 Unconf. works well in small settings, mega conf. also have informal sessions. Spontenaity fosters pertinent PD
Allows thought up to conf time about what to present/attend; can address things that just came up yesterday https://t.co/Fbgu0Pacgr

Yes! No one with some agenda...wanting to push a product. https://t.co/cMkLIJEv7F
A6 - itās actual educators who are in the trenches daily, not meta-analysis experts who havenāt seen a classroom in years
yes, you can actually even sign up as a āhostā you donāt have to be an expert, you arenāt presenter just facilitator
No prepared presentation either, I don't think. https://t.co/He8gXwDOK3
A6) is "unconference" model connected with picking and choosing what session you want to attend??
yes. unconferences = no set schedule, free, no speakers, = everyone talking, no presentations, no vendor sessions
A7 Be brave and jump right in! Lead a session, get up and walk out of one -- even your own. You'll get the most out of it that way!
A6: It works b/c we live by making choices. What we choose to learn makes us better educators
A7 Jump in and make some noise. Don't just sit there and agree with everything. We need diverse opinions.
A7: comfortable shoes & a back up battery for your device(s)!
I'm going to be standing outside trying to buy a ticket. You know the guy always outside of concerts looking for tix. Yep!
A7: Talk, listen, network, donāt just sit there

A7) take time to meet with the other amazing educators there, by far collaborating with them is the best part of
A7: No fear. Ask Qs. Initiate conversations. Wear comfortable shoes. Actually, that's all good advice anyway https://t.co/Vx7dMGnNzr
I'm going to start working on my signs.
A7) Don't be afraid to ask for help. I attended my first one this past summer and everyone was very polite. It's fun and interesting
A7 Come with an open mind. Be ready and willing to learn something new and share what you know with others.
A7: Soak as much up as you can! Share your expertise! You will be recharged when you leave!
A7 Be all in! Go meet some people, talk, add your 2 cents! MAKE CONNECTIONS & KEEP THEM UP!

You, shy!? If so, take a friend who can voice your opinion!
A7: If you facilitate a session, try not to monopolize the conversation. Use guiding questions and let convo go wherever it goes.
I "donut"
know how you're gonna get in. (I'll bring the pastries, u bring the poor, pitiful look and we're golden.)
A8 - learned about blogging (still not doing one, but I learned about it)
At my first ed camp I brought a pad of paper to take notes on :)...I've come a long way
Ohhh! There's always a couple people who don't show. Don't stress, I would just bring the donuts.

A7: If you facilitate a session, try not to monopolize the conversation. Use guiding questions and let convo go wherever it goes.
a7) Don't make up your mind too quickly. use 2 feet..don't plan on leaving early informal chitchat is most productive
A8: It's okay to "facilitate" even at your first EdCamp! (Scary, but okay!)
I'm never in danger of being the smartest person in the room. Best-looking, sure... but not smartest.
A8: All the cool apps that you can use in the classroom!
I missed a block one time with informal chit chat - and it was worth it.
This one time, at EdCamp, I learned that "they" don't "hate" us.
A8 - favorite take away was the PLN, that extends far beyond the actual EdCamp day
A8: Newbie, so just awaiting my first . All noted!
Let's all admit to that one! :) https://t.co/H1UjuRJj7u

Great chat tonight! I can't wait to see a lot of you on Saturday! Got to put the babies to bed!
A9) I would facilitate a session on culturally responsive teaching or student perception surveys to guide instruction
A9: If I were able to be there (am notš¢š¢š¢) and had to offer, I guess it would be effective working teams.
A9: I love collaborize classroom, an online learning tool. It has made a big difference with my students!
A9 I'd lead a session on listening to our students. They're the voices that matter most.
