This document provides information about EdCamps, which are teacher-led professional development events. A group of six educators from the New Orleans area presented on EdCamps and provided tips for organizing one. They explained that EdCamps are informal "unconferences" where teachers serve as presenters on various topics. The presenters provided resources for planning an EdCamp, including links to planning documents and details on EdCamp Louisiana/NOLA which is tentatively scheduled for July 13, 2013.
