EdCamp 2016 will be held February 27

EdCamp Bemidji will take place February 27, 2016 at Bemidji State University’s Hagg-Sauer Hall. EdCamp is a FREE “unconference,” designed to let college professors and K-12 teachers take back professional development. Rather than paying expensive presenters, learn from and teach each other.

Come enjoy a day of discussion and networking with preschool through college educators from surrounding communities. Those who are interested in attending EdCamp 2016, bring an idea for a session along with the anticipation of a full day of learning. A session might explore a technology tool, a discussion about best practices, or a collaborative presentation with multiple facilitators.

During the opening session, participants will meet in the lecture hall to build the schedule. Attendees will be invited to initiate a session using the following choices:

  • I can teach others about…
  • I invite others to teach about…
  • I can facilitate a discussion about…
  • Let’s get together and…

The schedule is built based on attendee’s answers to the following questions. Over the course of the day, participants will have the opportunity to attend up to four sessions. The rule of an “unconference” is to “vote with your feet.” Each participant will learn something new, develop new networking relationships, and leave with fresh ideas and information to apply immediately in their classroom and professional life.
