Short Session Description (one line):
EduCamp -Learning & Teaching by the People for the People!
Full Session Description: Educamps are grassroots community gatherings focused on education which take place all over the world Derived from the BarCamp tradition of "Unconferences" much like the GEC, they are open, participatory, and structured around participant generated topics and content. Attendees bring topics, presentations and workshops with them and present on a by popular request or demands basis. There are also forums with hands-on sessions, debates, simulations, and "lightening talks" where speakers are given 5 minutes only to share, present, expound on a topic -and sometimes voted upon for best in class. Most of all Educamps are learning and teaching by the people, for the people and a lot of fun. Anyone can participate or even organize a BarCamp -in this session we'll share how.
