Our EdCamp sessions will follow the 'unconference' format where the agenda is created by the attendees at the beginning of each session. There will be some themes to start the conversations, but anyone is welcome to initiate a discussion on a specific topic for any of our four sessions. Participants who attend can initiate topic discussions or participate in discussions that have been initiated by others. The format and schedule will be extremely flexible to meet the needs of the participants.
