edcampPDX - Thursday, August 2nd at OES

[Colette Cassinelli]

Calling all teachers, instructional technologists, IT Directors, Principals, Admins and Teacher Librarians who live in the NW. 

Join us at Oregon Episcopal School on Thursday, August 2nd from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. for our fourth edcampPDX.

What are the goals of edcampPDX?

• Networking: Connect educators in the Portland / Oregon area
• Instructional Practices: Learn new curriculum ideas, best practices, and/or tech integration ideas from other educators
• Personalized: You customize your own PD by suggesting, facilitating and attending sessions about topics that interest you!

What is edcampPDX?  An edcamp is a unconference-style day of professional development organized and given by the local participants. Those who are interested pitch an idea for a conversation or hands-on session.  The day of the edcamp we organize the ideas into sessions and everyone chooses which session to attend.  There is always something for everyone -- and if not -- sign up to lead a discussion that interests you!  This is the best type of PD because its about what you want and shared with other passionate, innovative educators.

Bring a friend - or better yet - bring your IT director, Principal or Teacher Librarian.  You can bring a laptop or tablet - wifi is available, as well as laptops to use at OES.

What does it cost?  The day is FREE!!!  Optional lunch cost: $5; register online & payable at the event.

Looking forward to EdCamp! I was really excited several weeks ago when I thought I would be there for the entire day. Luckily/Sadly? I found an interesting teaching position for the summer and won't be there until after 12pm.
