#EdCamp
As teachers, you spend your day taking care of others. Every day. All day. And sometimes you need a little something to refuel your own tank. EdCamp can be just the ticket. EdCamp is a free unconference that is educator-led and educator-driven. The video above gives a great one minute overview of what you can expect in an EdCamp. HERE is a link to a list of upcoming EdCamps. The permissions on the document allow anyone in BISD to edit, so if you find an EdCamp that's not on the list. Please add it. I'm putting this doc in the curriculum/digital learning classrooms on all the campuses if you need to find it later.
