Just a LIT-tle bit about everything... education, travel, books... and whatever else strikes my interests.
Are you tired? Do you feel burnout coming on strong. Do you wake up in the morning thinking its Friday, only to realize it's only Tuesday? I do. It's ok, lots of teachers do. I want to share with you the way I recharge. It's called Edcamp, and it's the best professional development I've ever attended. Edcamp is not a sit and get conference. This is the most unconference-y conference you've ever been to! What's an Unconference? Edcamp is an unconference, but what is an unconference? The sessions of this conference are held by the teachers who are attending. The Edcamps I've attended are put on by Palmetto State Teachers Association (PSTA) and Mr. Jed Dearybury, the director of professional development for PSTA. These conferences allow teachers to use their own expertise to help those around them and everyone learns from one another. If you want to learn more about what to expect at Edcamps, check out Edcamp.org/Attend.
