EdCamp Boston
Yesterday, I attended my very first Edcamp Unconference in Boston at the Microsoft building in Cambridge with Matt McDonald @BHSMcD. The building itself was beautiful and the views of the Charles river were even better.
I must say that I had a BLAST! I absolutely loved the whole concept of an unconference. For those of you who do not know what this is, it is a conference that is basically run by the participants who are attending. There are not exhibitors trying to sell to you their products.
The coolest part of the conference is that the schedule of sessions is actually created right there on the spot. It just so happened that I ended up co-presented with three people I meet from Plymouth South High School in MA. We had a discussion about what Senior Project looks like at each school. It was great to be able to bounce ideas off of each other. Had a blast presenting with Allison The day also provided a great means of meeting people that I have been following virtually for sometime as well as catching up with good friends and colleagues, like Mary Marotta
I highly recommend to all educators to attend one of these events. It is a cool experience that I know I will participate in again. Thanks to all of the organizers who made EdCamp Boston possible!
