EdCamp YYC is an unconference.
What Does That Mean?
Come enjoy a day with colleagues from the Calgary area and beyond. Arrive with an idea for a session that you would like to lead or with the anticipation of a full day of learning. A session might explore a technology tool, a discussion about best practices, or a discussion surrounding the current transformation taking place in education.
During the first hour, you will have time to meet other teachers over coffee. There will be an empty session board where you and all attendees can post session titles.
Over the course of the day, you will have the opportunity to attend up to four sessions. The rule of the unconference is to “vote with your feet”. If a session doesn’t meet your needs, simply get up and move on to another room.
We will not be providing certificates for the professional development you receive. You will learn something new, maybe make a new friend, and receive information that you can immediately apply in your classroom and professional life!
What is the Cost?
EdCamp YYC is free. However, you will want to bring a bagged lunch or some money to purchase lunch from a nearby eatery or food truck (details coming soon)
What Should I Bring?
Bring a friend. A wireless device is useful. It will allow you to view the session board online, take notes, and view websites discussed throughout the day. An active Google Apps account will also allow you to collaborate with other participants and view shared notes. CBE staff can view instructions to setup your account by visiting the Google Insite Page under the "Go" tab.
