It was sure a great weekend in the twin cities...I got to meet up with some great Minnesota folks at a fabulous spot in downtown Minneapolis for a day of learning and sharing at EdCampMSP.
For me, EdCampMSP will always hold a special spot in my development as an #edtech specialist. I changed jobs from an instrumental music teacher to a role in technology 4 years ago. Somehow I came upon the link to register for this thing called an EdCamp in the twin cities area. I registered and then drove the couple hundred miles to the cities...what came next literally changed my life.
I was welcomed into this learning environment where I absorbed so much information that it made me yearn for more. I attended more edcamps all around and learned more and more and MORE. Each time I would come away from an edcamp with a wealth of information that I put into practice in my school. I also was so lucky because I started building a PLN that stretches around the world...having that kind of global perspective on education practices is truly an invaluable commodity.
I would like to thank the hosts of this last edcamp - my pals Lisa & Tom. Thanks to the folks at flipgrid for the amazing space. A special shoutout to the folks at kidblog for taking the time to really explain your product and the way it can be a trans-formative tool for student voice.
So, edcampmsp 2016 is in the books - I am looking forward to my next 2 edcamps at La Crosse and Green Bay in the next month.
If you haven't ever been to an edcamp, you gotta check it out -- it is a life changing experience to be sure.
