Photos from EdCamp Des Moines #edcampdsm

On Saturday, educators from around the Midwest visited Crestview Elementary for EdCamp Des Moines. What is EdCamp?  It’s a free event where educators gather to share and collaborate on topics of their choosing.  There are no official presenters/guest speakers.  Instead, the group creates a schedule of interested topics the morning of the event.  For more information on what an EdCamp is, visit Kristen Swanson’s article “Why EdCamp“

Why is this happening at Crestview? The organizers of EdCamp Des Moines used Crestview Elementary last year – and found that the location worked very well and they would like to use the facility again.  Several Crestview and district staff stepped up to offer Crestview as a potential site last year and they were on site to help manage the event last year and will do so again this year.

Where can I find more information on what happened last year?
Here’s a link to the recap of last years event…  https://wdmtech.wordpress.com/2013/09/29/photos-edcamp-desmoines/

If you think EdCamp is sit and get, then check out this time lapse video, as it shows participants getting up and moving around as they wish, depending on their needs.
