This year I finally got to do something that I have wanted to do for awhile, I got to put on an Edcamp in my own district. Edcamp Iowa for those that do not know, is an Edcamp where we have 5 locations throughout the state of Iowa all going on at the same time…
Edcamp Iowa was the first Edcamp that I ever went to and I have been hooked on Edcamps since then. I have traveled up to the Twin Cities and down to Kansas City for Edcamps. Every Edcamp that I go to has been a great learning experience and has reenergized me as an educator. Edcamps…
This last weekend I attended EdcampIowa in Ankeny, IA. This was one of the 4 (was supposed to be 5 but there was not enough interest at one site) sites across the state to make up what has to be the largest Edcamp (if you combine all of the participants). There were some great discussions…
This weekend I will be heading down to Kansas City to attend Edcamp KC on Saturday. I am spending 3.5 hours on the road Friday so I can spend a large chunk of my Saturday with other teachers, learning together and not getting paid for this. Many would be asking why I would be doing…

This past Saturday I was down in Des Moines for my second Edcamp. Edcamps are awesome in that it is a time for educators to come together to discuss and share ideas about education.
