What is it?
EduCamp is a BarCamp-inspired gathering born from the desire by teachers, researchers, and technology specialists in K-12 education to share and learn in an open and powerfully-networked environment.
EduCampNYC is launched with the help of New York City teachers and hosted by Open Educator TC, the Columbia Teachers College campus chapter of the non-profit, Open Educator.
Pre-event planning will take place using this wiki. The event will be run using Open Space Technology. It will be an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from attendees.

The "Rules" of EduCamp
When you come, be prepared to share with educampers.
When you leave, be prepared to share it with the world.
NO SPECTATORS, ONLY PARTICIPANTS
Attendees must give a demo, a session, or help with one, or otherwise volunteer / contribute in some way to support the event ("Contributing" something to EduCamp can mean many things. You can attend someone else's workshop and simply engage in discussion, or help clean up the breakfast plates! We just want to make sure people are actively involved.) All presentations are scheduled the day they happen. Prepare in advance, but come early to get a slot on the wall. The people present at the event will select the demos or presentations they want to see.
Presenters are responsible for making sure that notes/slides/audio/video of their presentations are published on the web for the benefit of all and those who can’t be present. We will be using the collaborative curriculum authoring tool Open Planner to document all sessions.
