<p><b>What is EdCamp? </b>It’s a free event where educators gather to share and collaborate on topics of their choosing.  There are no official presenters/guest speakers.  Instead, the group creates a schedule of interested topics the morning of the event.  Read more at:  <a href="http://www.edutopia.org/blog/why-edcamp-kristen-swanson">http://www.edutopia.org/blog/why-edcamp-kristen-swanson</a></p>

<p><b>Why is this happening at Crestview?</b> The organizers of EdCamp Des Moines used Crestview Elementary last year &#8211; and found that the location worked very well and they would like to use the facility again.  Several Crestview and district staff stepped up to offer Crestview as a potential site last year and they were on site to help manage the event last year and will do so again this year.</p>
<p><strong>Where can I find more information on what happened last year?</strong><br />
Here&#8217;s a link to the recap of last years event&#8230;  <a href="https://wdmtech.wordpress.com/2013/09/29/photos-edcamp-desmoines/">https://wdmtech.wordpress.com/2013/09/29/photos-edcamp-desmoines/</a></p>
