I am not a morning person. Very few people are able to get me up, dressed, and chatting at 6 in the morning. Alice Keeler is one of those people. My favorite moment from ISTE 2015 was actually an event that was not on the ISTE official schedule: #coffeeEDU. I knew little about what #coffeeEDU entailed, but what was the worst that could happen? Stuck in Starbucks with a coffee? I was in.
Once I arrived I totally bought in. #coffeeEdu is the epitome of an unconference. There are no scheduled topics and never lasts more than an hour. My #coffeeEDU colleagues chose to discuss teaching tech in PD.
We broke into small groups of 4 to 5 people. Our group, made up of educators from 3 different countries, shared successes, failures, and tips. Each gained something from others’ unique experiences. In my opinion, it was the most organic version of learning and growing.
Interested? Come to a Delaware #coffeeEDU.
Who: Any educator!
What: Drink coffee, build your PLN, teach, and learn.
