I just experienced my first Edcamp session. It was a super interesting and helped me engage with my peers. After the four groups were chosen, I decided to join the group discussing special education. I found it to be very informative and helped further my knowledge into the subject. My group of discussed a variety of topics which also included each individual learner and their specific needs in and out of the classroom. This is a topic I have many questions about for a handful of reasons. What designates each individual student? Why is there still such a stigma around having a different need within the classroom? These two questions weren’t solved in the Edcamp, but it is something I look forward to diving into in the future, potentially with my tech inquiry project! Overall, this was a positive experience, and I am already thinking of how I can incorporate the Edcamp style of learning into my teaching, and learning in the future.

This camping trip was a great experience for our class. Being around nature, like we were, gave us the oppertunity to understand our outside environment better. Water testing, canoeing, discussing philosophical connections to nature, exploring, and of course campfire stories, were some of the fun things we got to do with our peers while interacting with nature. Scott Lewis, from the Geography Department at UWEC came and discussed how to use GPS devices and why they are so useful for people in his field. I come from a very rural area so being outside is where I love to be. Being surrounded by nothing but trees, water, wildlife, and the sky allows me to reflect and think about anything without disturbance. It's so great what the outdoors can do for a person. Nothing about this trip (being cold 95% of the time) changed my view of nature and the outdoors--it just made me more appreciative of the natural beauty that our environment has to offer. Even though I thought I lost my toes by dawn, I still had an incredible time getting to know my environment, classmates, and professors. And I will never forget Ben's creepy 'little boy/girl stories'.....ever. :)
