Practical Ed Tech Summer Camp Outline & Links

Welcome! I’m so glad that all of you could make it. Below you can see the schedule that we will try to follow over the next two days. The schedule is flexible and we can add to it or subtract from it in order to meet the needs of the group. The only thing that we cannot change about the schedule is the timing of the lunch break. Ask questions, talk with each other, and have fun.
