Instructional technology leaders from the Northeast Georgia RESA school systems unITed to organize Edcamp GA and Edcamp GA WIRED! Join us for a "free, organic, participant-driven, un-conference that empowers educators to maximize professional learning experiences and peer networks." All educators are welcome!
An Edcamp is designed to provide participant-driven professional development for K-12 educators. Generally referred to as an "unconference." Edcamps are built on principles of connected and participatory learning.
Edcamp GA has been established to bring teachers across Northeast Georgia together to talk about the things that matter most to them: their interests, passions, and questions.
Teachers who attend Edcamp GA will be able to present current classroom practices, learn what others are doing, gain support for employing best practices in the classroom, and/or actively participate in a host of sessions and hands-on learning experiences related to teaching and learning.
