AN EDUCATOR "UNCONFERENCE" TO NETWORK & LEARN TOGETHER!

GRPS IS HOSTING AN EDCAMP

An EdCamp is a FREE, one-day unconference that is medium-sized(usually 100-150 people) with a focus on allowing attendees the opportunity to network and explore around the types of content they choose.


At the opening of an unconference, participants find themselves presented with an empty agenda. Everybody who feels called to initiate a session or has something they want to talk about shares it on a sticky note. From there, we build the schedule. Don’t worry, we’ll walk you through the process!


Any educator looking for a chance to share their own expertise and engage in conversation with a number of like-minded individuals should attend ITCC: EdCamp Edition.


We will provide breakfast, lunch, and prizes! We have you all day, so we’ll feed and reward you appropriately! But mostly importantly, you’ll get a chance to collaborate with other educators!


The thought is if you bring 100ish people together, feed them, and give them a chance to choose what topics they would like to explore, then groups of 10-15 will collect around a wide variety of topics and everyone will get their needs met. It's participant driven and led, and you vote with your feet. If you're in a session that doesn't work for you, go to another. The day is about what you need. Check out this video for more info!


There are a limited number of spots so get your ticket today! Registration closes August 8th .


6 SCECHs available to educators who attend all day!

AND... FREE FOOD AND PRIZES!
