Today’s class on Edcamp made me think a couple things. Firstly, it got my ideas flowing about what I wanted to talk about, which prompted me to create my own personal Edcamp. Next up, source some friends to talk shop with, thats the hard part! My next thought was on how this can be done in a multimedia way, perhaps for students in a remote class, or even as a way to enhance tech literacy. Perhaps a Kahoot could be a good way of gauging interest in a serious of topics, or a word cloud generator. My last thought was what may be some of the roadblocks when trying Edcamps with younger groups. How can we get around them? I think staying on task may be a prevalent roadblock, especially if the general theme of the Edcamp was not particularly engaging. Maybe they should be reserved for topics that have an abundance of conversation avenues as opposed to ones that are more of a drag for learners!
Heres my own personal Edcamp, non exhaustive of course.
