EdCampME Countdown

Yes! EdCamp Maine is just 4 days away!  We are busy with final preparations.  Here are some last minute reminders:

Directions to Waynflete can be found on our website - http://edcampme.wikispaces.com/WHERE.  

Registration will open at 8 am on Saturday with our first Opening Meeting beginning promptly at 8:30 am.  Please download this "Infobook" to have with you on Saturday.  It contains directions for wireless access, building maps, schedule details, and more.  We have it available in both a PDF and ePub (for ipad and other readers).  We will have some paper copies available.

ePub version (click on this link from your ipad) - http://bit.ly/GUc101


CEUs and Contact Hours - USM has granted us 0.6 CEU for participating in EdCamp Maine.  If you are interested in getting the credit, please bring a $20 check made out to “University of Southern Maine”.  We will have a form for you to fill out.  Payment must be brought to EdCamp because we need to send USM one packet of registrations and checks.  We will have a “Certificate of Attendance” available to document contact hours.

Share with us  - If you are on twitter, follow us @edcampme.  And share your tweets using the #edcampme hashtag.  We have also set up a Posterous site (http://edcampme.posterous.com) in order to share notes, photos, links, and other resources.  It’s a great way to share what we have learned throughout the day.  To post, just send an email to edcampme@posterous.com 

After Camp Session - Don't plan to go home home right away.  We hope you will continue your conversations informally at an EdCampME gathering at Brian Boru, a pub in Portland. Directions here - http://g.co/maps/39dzt

What to bring - laptop, ipad, chromebook, legal pad (whatever you are comfortable with); water bottle; dongle (if you are planning on presenting - we have projectors).  Because we need to make sure we have enough food and snacks, if you don't think you'll make it this year, please reply to this email with your name.


Can't wait to see you,
The EdCampME Crew
