Connectors, Creators, Constructivists

I follow the TeachThought network. Terry Heick and friends continually pushes me to consider what truly transformational learning might look like. 

In this post, Heick explores the idea of curriculum as "a set of networks, tools, self-directed thinking habits, and accessible learning models".

I believe this idea applies to professional development. At EdCampMSP, participants create an agenda and determine the tools, thinking and learning experiences that are most relevant to their immediate needs.

This year, EdCampMSP will focus the fun into two sessions. The morning session will open in the usual fashion. Participants will create an agenda around their specific interests and needs. Following lunch, we will open the afternoon session. This session is focused on creation. Innovative teachers as well as friends of EdCampMSP - Flipgrid, KidBlog, and DocentEdu - will be available to collaborate in order to create activities and tools you can use on Monday.

The 6th annual EdCampMSP 2016 will take place Saturday, October 1st from 8:00 AM to 3:30 PM at the Vidku headquarters in Minneapolis.

Date: Saturday, October 1st
Location: #500, 251 N 1st Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55401
Registration Opens: August 22, 2016

Vidku is the company responsible for the popular Flipgrid technology that enables educators to create grids with topics and students to respond with recorded videos to discuss, reflect, and share.

Vidku is located in the fast-growing and dynamic Minneapolis North Loop neighborhood. Although we will miss the Minnesota History Center, we are excited to finally hold a camp in the "M" of MSP.

You know that Lisa and I love bringing new ideas to EdCamp. This year we are dividing the camp into two parts. The morning will be the traditional open space where we build a schedule based on participants passions and learning needs. After lunch, we will reconvene for Skills time. Participants will group together to make materials they can use with students right away on Monday! 

As always, EdCampMSP is as good as the educators that decide to show up. Registration opens on August 22.
