How are you involved in education?

I am the Technology Support Teacher at Elkridge Landing Middle School in Howard County.


Have you ever attended an edcamp or unconference before?

No


How do you hope Edcamp Baltimore will allow you to be more?

I'm hoping to find something new to bring back to my school. I would like to learn more about BYOD, and specific apps to use to elevate the use of technology in the classroom.

What are your hopes and goals to allow those you teach to be more?

Our students are comfortable using technology - but I want to expose them to technology for learning & creating - not just social media & games.

What are some "hot topics" that you hope are explored more at Edcamp Baltimore?

  • BYOD - the good, the bad & the ugly
  • PD - increasing the use of technology in the classrooms


We can’t wait to meet you, Linda Scrivener!

How are you involved in education?

Middle School Mathematics Teacher, Baltimore County Public Schools

How do you hope Edcamp Baltimore will allow you to be more?

There is such a benefit to sharing ideas with colleagues!  The ultimate goal is to maximize student achievement through active engagement at all levels at all times!  I am eager to hear what others are doing to maximize use of classroom space and technology integration for maximum student performance.

What are your hopes and goals to allow those you teach to be more?

My hope is that my students will enjoy the process of learning through taking strong intiative to explore new ideas and concepts on their own and share them with their classmates.  By active engagment and taking responsibility for the learning process, my dream is that more and more students will have fun, take responsibility for their success, and enjoy becoming a life-long learner.  In doing that, the sky is the limit!

What are some "hot topics" that you hope are explored more at Edcamp Baltimore?

Classroom design and technology integration.

How are you involved in education?

BCPSS English teacher

Have you ever attended an edcamp or unconference before?

Had so much fun and learned TONS at Edcamp Baltimore last year.


How do you hope Edcamp Baltimore will allow you to be more?

I'm looking forward to networking with other teachers and having solutions based discussions to real classroom issues.


What are your hopes and goals to allow those you teach to be more?

I would love to bring more technology and project-based learning to my students. I want to take my students out of the box, focusing on independent thinking and promoting personal motivation. I'm hoping this will translate into close to grade level reading levels and effective oral and written communication.


What are some "hot topics" that you hope are explored more at Edcamp Baltimore?

  • How do I navigate an administration that is not supportive?
  • How do I raise money for field trips, and how do I schedule students for several learning-based field trips?
  • What is the best way to promote learning through games?


We can’t wait to meet you, Jennifer Williams!

How are you involved in education?

Teacher with Baltimore County Schools


Have you ever attended an edcamp or unconference before?

Edcamp Maryland
Unconferences through BCPS STAT community



How do you hope Edcamp Baltimore will allow you to be more?

I want to be a more well-connected teacher with a larger PLN to gather ideas from for classroom implementation.


What are your hopes and goals to allow those you teach to be more?

I want my students to learn multiple ways of accomplishing things. Traditionally we have taught students single solutions and then they get stuck if that single solution won't work. We need to equip them with multiple ways so that they can problem solve when tackling issues beyond the classroom.


What are some "hot topics" that you hope are explored more at Edcamp Baltimore?

  • Production tools
  • Using data quickly
  • Customizing instruction efficiently without wanting to rip your own hair out


We can’t wait to meet you, Heather Jennings !

I'm an Assistant Principal at a middle school in Anne Arundel County.


Have you ever attended an edcamp or unconference before?

No, but I'm intrigued by the idea of "PD for teachers by teachers."

One of my personal/professional goals for the year is to become better-connected with educators world wide and to continue to teach our faculty by using my own professional learning as a tool to  nurture their growth.

My goal is to have each teacher embrace Growth Mindset and do something new this year.  My hope is that they will become connected educators.


We can’t wait to meet you, Michelle!
