December 6th, 2022 - EdcampUt and Edcamp St. George Registration

Today's Resource Share is the registration links to an upcoming pair of Edcamps in Utah. First is EdcampUT in North Salt Lake City for teachers along the Wasatch Front. Second is Edcamp St. George in February. Both events are organized and supported by UCET.


If you have never been to an edcamp or it has been awhile, they are an unconference. What that means is that all attendees help choose sessions in the morning on topics in education they would like to explore and discuss with their fellow educators. Then the organizers schedule sessions with a moderator and everyone is an equal participant in the discussion. They are some of the most fun you can have at a professional development. There are two upcoming edcamps:


EdcampUT


Saturday, January 7th, 2023 8 AM - 3 PM

At Spectrum Academy in North Salt Lake

Cost - Free (MIDAS credit available through UCET)

Registration Link


Edcamp St. George


Saturday, February 4th, 2023 8 AM - 3 PM

At Desert Hills Middle School

Cost - Free (MIDAS credit available through UCET)

Registration Link


Registration is free to all participants and it includes food and prize drawings.
