Edcamp Wiki
*IMPORTANT SOURCE*
points to the openness and flexibility of edcamp goals - are “goals” and “theme” used synonymously? |
First: Determine a mission/goal for the event. (Read part 1 of Mary Beth's series on creating an edcamp)
- Who is your target audience?
- What types of discussions would you like your audience to have?
- Engage your audience in conversation so they will attend the event.
- Enlist the help of others--an unconference is hard to put on alone!
