This
guest post is brought to you by Dayci Chivukula, a Spanish teacher at GMS,
after attending her first EdcampNJ on Saturday, November 21.
When
I heard that EDcamp was to happen on a Saturday, my first reaction was “no way
Jose.” However, when Kim shared her experience about these type of camps
I became really interested. I am an old dog who loves to learn new tricks
so…I was game. The idea of spending practically a whole Saturday with
computers frightened me a bit. However, I DID IT! This was a great
experience. Initially I was going to attend sharing sessions, before I knew
I was presenting with Jessica, my colleague from the Spanish department.
The way we structured the presentation was a sharing format so I “taught” and
“learned” this double role was magic. I came back with lots of
resources, ideas, and enthusiasm. Needless to say I am looking forward
attending next year. Thank you Kim, Melissa, Stacey, and all the
wonderful people who make it possible for educators like me to combine my know
how with technology to make learning more exciting to my students.
