So, I’d like to take this space to go over some of the basic rules of EdCamp. No One Will Pitch It for You EdCamps are unconferences. By this I mean that they have a blank slate of sessions for the day. There may be a few predetermined sessions, but ultimately the session topics are determined by attendees during the pitch & plan session that opens the day.

One of my proudest accomplishments of 2017 was helping to hold the first EdCamp in my school district, EdCamp Elmbrook. We are holding our 2nd annual EdCamp on March 3rd of 2018. It will be held at Brookfield Central High School in Brookfield, WI.
As we enter a new year, I realize a lot of us are making resolutions. Why not make a resolution to attend an EdCamp? In 2017, we had just over 100 attendees for our democratic PD experience. I've grown my PLN and learned from innovators like Michael Matera, Chad Kafka, Jennie Magiera, Tricia Louis, Tammy Lind, Carrie Baughcum, Joe Sanfelippo, Brian Durst, and the list goes on and on. But, I’ve spoke at length about why I think you should attend an EdCamp on many previous posts.
So, I’d like to share the voices of some of our 2017 attendees from EdCamp Elmbrook as they explain why you should attend an EdCamp in 2018.
I hope these words have convinced you to attend an EdCamp this year.
Hopefully, you can attend EdCamp Elmbrook this year. We hope to have you there to help make the event even better than last year. If you'd like more information about the event go to our website or
