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.
