#edtechchat #edcamp style

Tonight I participated in an event that was as productive as any Professional Development opportunity I have ever attended.  The #edtechchat was #edcamp style and was all about the participants leading the topics by posting the questions.  This was amazing to watch.  The expertise, resources, and connections are something to review, share and invite as many others as possible to join.

We all know the power of a PLN, but honestly, until I began to participate in the #edtechchat, I had no idea the amount and quality of information that I could find.  I asked a question, and within seconds, I had a response.  Let's face it, we all need more time to do the many things we have to do each day.  The ability to quickly have answers as we are planning, sharing with others, developing training materials, or compiling specialized lists of online resources is priceless.  

The "moderators" did a fabulous job, as always.  Thank you @ajpodchaski, @iplante, and @s_bearden

I also appreciated the 11 Year Old Keynote Speaker link provided by @cybraryman1 - this was perfect timing as I was thinking about including something exactly like this in a training session this week.

It was a perfect end to a stressful day, I love learning and this type of activity inspires me.  This is something worthwhile, time well spent.
