Time to Learn, Time to Create

In previous posts, I have mentioned that EdCampMSP 2016 will offer two different flavors of learning. Here is how the day is designed. 

Morning Session
In the morning we will meet and open the traditional Open Space session. Participants will create a schedule around their specific interests and needs. We will wrap up the morning session with a flipgrid recap of what we learned and who we are going to stay connected to.

Afternoon Session
After a break for lunch, we will reassemble and open the afternoon Skills session. Just like we did in the morning, we will create a schedule around our specific interests and needs with the outcome of making something we can use on Monday. An exciting component of the afternoon is an opportunity to collaborate with local EdTech companies to incorporate their tools into our teaching and students learning.

Our EdTech Partners

Flipgrid enables educators to create grids with topics and students to respond with recorded videos to discuss, reflect, and share. Not only is Flipgrid our awesome hosts, but every participant will receive a discounted Flipgrid membership. Better yet,  Flipgrid will provide free subscriptions for campers who post a video on their community grid on the topic of the power of student voice - flipgrid.com/580f1d1e

DocentEDU was founded by two Minnesota teachers to help them move beyond textbooks and make the Internet their lesson. DocentEDU lets you turn any website into an interactive lesson. Easily embed formative assessments and track student's close reading on any website or google doc.  By adding questions, discussions, videos, and more directly into the original text, students stay focused, engaged, and active participants in their learning.  DocentEDU works with Google Classroom, Google Sign-In, and many other tools you already use.

Founded in 2010, Kidblog started in co-founder Matt Hardy’s 4th grade classroom as a way for students to replace paper notebooks. Since then, Kidblog has become the largest student blogging platform, used by teachers around the world to engage students in the writing process. Our core mission is to provide teachers with a safe platform for students to share their voice with an authentic audience.
