EdCampNOLA is a day of learning that will advance the best practices in K-12 teachers from the Greater New Orleans area. It is a free day of learning put on for teachers by teachers.  The goal of the day is to share exciting 21st century practices while collaborating and networking with other teachers from this area. We hope to build a network of  colleagues with whom to brainstorm and learn. 

This will be our seventh EdCampNOLA and we can't wait to once again meet and greet other great educators from around the area.  

Come and join us as we discuss whatever interests you. Do you want to share what you are doing or is there something that you want to learn more about? We can talk about:
  • using iPads in class
  • literacy strategies to promote close reading
  • creating your personal brand
  • CCSS resources that work
  • ways connecting with parents
  • developing your PLN using Google+, twitter and blogs
  • PBIS strategies to improve school climate
  • using digital storytelling tools
  • creating an online class using Edmodo / Google Classroom / or...
  • ways blogging can drive a class
  • and anything else that you might want to talk about

EdCampNOLA is a great place to be! Bring a friend to enjoy the experience. You can divide and conquer and then compare notes afterwards.
