Ed Camp – my thoughts!

I appreciated getting to both discuss AND participate in Ed Camp (however within the classroom setting, and not online)! I find it important to put our ideas and thoughts into a practical setting, and trying something together as colleagues before introducing something like this into the classroom.

In my group, we were discussing adding literature that highlights LGBTQ+ people and BIPOC together in a classroom. It was nice to be surrounded by like-minded people who had ideas and thoughts and things/books to share with the group. I was interested, and was passionate about what we were chatting about.

I will definitely be using something like this into my future French classroom, because it can be based on the ideas of students (and learning should be student-centered in the context of education!!) I think this is one of my favourite activities that we’ve done together as a class.

I have included a cool gif below that I think captures the essence of collaboration! I found it on a blog, that was chatting about collaboration!
