What is nErDcamp?
nErDcampMB follows the tradition of nErDcamp Michigan, which itself is modeled on the (un)Conference or Ed Camp style (hence the "ED" capitalized in nErDcamp). As with nErDcamp Michigan, the general focus of the conference is on literacy in all of its forms (not just English Language Arts!).
The (un)conference/Ed Camp style means there are no prepared sessions, but the attendees themselves generate the content of the conference at the opening. The beauty of this is everyone can be certain that something pertains to them -- and if not, they can create a session that does!
For more information on the Ed Camp model, see the Ed Camp website here.
It's a full day, but a fun day of learning and connecting.
We know that Manitoba teachers are doing great things, and we want to celebrate that fact and learn from each other. Let's all get nerdy together!
