You will be handed a post-it note when you arrive at Edcamp Hershey. It is so much more than a normal post-it note. This post-it note has the power to change your PD destiny for the day. All participants are encouraged to write something that they want to learn more about, something they are passionate about, or a topic that they feel needs to be talked about. There are no right or wrong ideas. Hopefully you noticed that it does not mention PRESENTATIONS, just talking and learning. There are not formal presentations by experts at Edcamp. Someone with no background knowledge can still propose a topic they want to learn about and we will make sure to send some people your way to join the conversation.
After you record what you want to talk about, you will hand it to the Session Board Wranglers, who will find a place for your topic. We have 12 session spaces and 3 time slots, that means over 30 different conversations can take place. It does not matter if there are only 3 people talking or 30, there is still the opportunity to learn. On the day of the event, we will share a link (through Twitter and linked on the schedule page of this website) to a Google Sheet with the schedule and sessions.
