What’s an UNconference Anyway?

Our KS UNconference is only 31 days away and we’re getting really excited about it!  What we’re wondering is if everyone knows what an UNconference is.  An UNconference is really like an Edcamp and luck for us, Simple K12 has come up with a wonderful guide on how to create an Edcamp.  We wanted to share a table from the guide that compares an UNconference to a Traditional Conference.

As you can see, an UNconference is participant driven and discussion based and the goal is to connect with like minded people and be able to leave with information that can immediately be applied to the classroom. Oh, and it’s FREE!

When we say participant driven, the participants at the UNconference decide what’s going to be discussed.  We do have a place for you to suggest session ideas, rather DISCUSSION ideas, and there will also be an opportunity to make suggestions that day.

So join us for a fun day of sharing with like minded people at our very first KS UNconference!
