It's always great to connect with other educators.
I presented three sessions along with my colleague @csheil this past weekend.
In the spirit of EdCamp we waited to arrive to see what the need of the audience would be for the day. We focused on creativity, video and formative assessment
- FlipGrid and Clips
- Managing Classrooms with Chromebooks (showcased PearDeck and FlashCard Factory)
- Adobe Spark

I think this year I may attend EdCamp Boston again. It's been too many years since I have attended.
When showing tools that allow students to create and publish it's always important to remember "Pedagogy is the driver, technology is the accelerator" when you implement technology alongside the correct pedagogy, it can take both teachers and students to new levels. The mix of pedagogy and technology is a balanced method and by far the most effective. Teachers using technology to complement their ideas are able to address the different learning styles of students and allow students to be creative, innovative and engaged.
