On September 25, I participated in my first ever Ed Camp.
WHAT IS ED CAMP?!?!?
Ed Camp is an unconference. It is an opportunity to join together with like-minded people and discuss topics that interest you. Upon arriving at an EdCamp, attendees write down ideas for what they want to discuss that day. Then they vote on which of those ideas interest them most. The day is driven by camp-goers, there is no key-note speakers or facilitators in the room.
After spending one session with my colleagues discussing Indigenous Education, I felt like I truly understood “the point”. It was a low risk atmosphere to learn from my classmates and share my knowledge. The conversation was spontaneous, and gave us the opportunity to hear what amazing insights each one has.
