EdCamp Ocala

Tammy Quick

You are invited to attend Marion County's first EdCamp event!  EdCamp is a free professional development event that bides by the two feet rule.  If the session you're attending doesn't meet your needs, you may use your two feet to go find another one that best suits your professional development needs.  EdCamps are designed specifically for educators whether you're a teacher, administrator, education student, or anyone interested in the education field. 
The day will begin with networking. Start thinking about a session that you'd like to add on the schedule. No one should come prepared with a presentation, instead just come with a topic for discussion or a question that has been burning. 
Hours: 8:00am-12pm  (Registration/Sign-In 7:30-8:00) 8:00: Board Planning, 8:30-9:15 1st Session, 9:30-10:15: 2nd Session, 10:30-11:15: 3rd Session, 11: 15-12 Smackdown/Wrap-Up 
EDCamp Format: Upon arriving at your destination you will be invited into a gathering area to start the day. Participants see a blank schedule displayed for sessions. Session times and rooms are clearly seen, with no descriptions. Session descriptions are created right then, by participants. All sessions are discussion driven. Blank cards are available to participants who have a specific topic they want addressed. Each person writes that topic on a card to establish it as a session. Usually, the person proposing the session heads up the discussion. However, once a discussion begins, anyone can take lead! The selection of topics stimulates discussion and questioning amid participants to determine where they will go, what they will attend and what they should expect. When selecting a session to attend, participants need to consider backup alternatives. This is referred to as “The Rule of Two Feet.” You are welcome to leave the session at anytime to find another topic that better fits your needs. At the end of the event, we will get back together for a “smackdown,” in which participants are invited to share any tools, tricks, or tips with others! The day ends with a closing meeting at which time the group will consider next steps to further the momentum of the Edcamp Discussions. Connect Online!
