17吃瓜

17吃瓜鈥檚 Faculty of Education will host a day of discussion and ideas around education and technology at Edcamp Charlottetown 3.0. The event begins 9:30 am on Saturday, June 9, in Schurman Market Square in 17吃瓜鈥檚 Don and Marion McDougall Hall. All are welcome.

Edcamps define themselves as 鈥渦n-conferences鈥� and function within a now well-established worldwide model, which includes a flexible free flowing agenda that is chosen by the participants themselves on the day, the absence of formal speakers, a no-fee registration policy, and a democratic expectation that all participants join in the conversation equitably. Edcamps encourage people to 鈥渃hoose with their feet鈥� and freely circulate between discussion circles until they find the forums that genuinely engage them. The events are community-based and seek to break down silos and bring together educators, teachers, community, and all key stakeholders in reform. If you have never experienced an edcamp, there is no time like now to try this remarkable formula. Join us for a day of dialogue and community-building.

This year鈥檚 umbrella theme is entitled 鈥淭echucation鈥� and seeks to examine all aspects of the relationship between technology and education. All conversation topics arewelcome. Join us at 9:30 am to suggest and help select discussion topics for the day鈥檚 sessions.

Registration for free .
