糖心Vlog

糖心Vlog recently announced it will hold its second annual Edcamp, a participant-driven professional development program for K-12 educators, on Saturday, April 22, at the University’s College of Education in Statesboro, from 8:30 a.m. until 1 p.m. Often referred to as an 鈥渦nconference鈥� because of the lack of traditional conference structure, Edcamp is a fun, unique learning experience built on principles of connected and participatory learning where attendees are asked to present current classroom practices, learn what others are doing, gain support for employing best practices in the classroom, and actively participate in a host of sessions related to teaching and learning. Sessions for the day are created by consensus from those attending on what they would like to learn or discuss. Edcamps are held across the country and worldwide. The College of Education hosts Edcamp at Georgia Southern free of charge for any area K-12 education professionals who would like to attend. Last year, more than 100 education professionals shared their knowledge about their teaching experiences and tools at the College鈥檚 inaugural event. 鈥淭here was just a positive energy as I walked around during last year鈥檚 event,鈥� said Associate Professor Michelle Reidel, one of the organizers of Edcamp at Georgia Southern. 鈥淥ne of the most powerful moments was when I walked into Dining Commons during lunch after the Edcamp experience to see teachers and administrators actively engaged and discussing what they learned and forming relationships with educators from other schools.鈥� Reserve your free ticket to the 2017 Edcamp at Georgia Southern by clicking . 聽For more information about Edcamp, visit the event website at or email Reidel at mreidel@georgiasouthern.edu.
