I'm going to my first EdCamp today

I'm going to my first EdCamp event today.
EdCamp events are free, open-ended professional development get-togethers.  There are no formal presenters.  Participants come with ideas, interests, and a desire to collaborate.  Because I have all three I've been eager to attend since I registered many months ago.

This YouTube video explains the format.  The link comes from Eileen Yaeger, a terrific ESOL teacher currently at Washington Mill Elementary in northern Virginia.
What I'm really looking for at my inaugural EdCamp event is information about 1:1 implementation.  My principal tells us that we're moving to the 1:1 model in 2017-2018 and I want to learn about
  • What does 1:1 look like?
  • How do you prepare for it?
  • How to you roll it out?
Interested in attending?  Here's the link to the EdCampNova website, and you can Twitter follow @EdCampNova and #EdCampNova.

If you're in northern Virginia and would like to come, it will be held at Marshall High School in Falls Church from 8am to 1:30pm.  Click here to register.

Very interesting event, it is really worth it to participate in it. I would love to participate in such activity myself. It is a pity that no tents. It reminded me of camping during my school years. That were the best days of my life! The main thing, in this case, is no problem with supplies, for this you need to hire a very responsible person. The record of such a person should be no less than in these supply chain resume examples Then both school camping and EdCamp will be very successful.
