This Saturday, educators from all over California will be coming together for the second annual Edcamp in the area. In 2011, Orange County educators hosted EdcampOC and 2012 is promised to be bigger and better at Arovista Elementary School in Brea, CA.
The EdTech conference structure is informal, with attendees signing up to run sessions in the morning.
EdcampOCLA will focus being solely on conversations about education. Attendees are coming from all over the state and will range from classroom teachers to administrators to coaches and school board members.
There will be time for attendees to gather informally to share ideas as well as a variety of sessions for them to attend, run by their colleagues and fellow educators.
As with all edcamps, EdCampOCLA is completely free, with all refreshments and other amenities provided solely through sponsorship (Collaborize Classroom, Simple K12 and Edutopia). Register online and make sure to introduce yourself on EdcampOCLA’s website http://edcampocla.org/introduce!
