Edcamp NJ is a free unconference held in New Jersey the Saturday before Thanksgiving (this year 11/19).  I have attended several times and always walked away with new ideas.  To register for this free PD event or get additional information, please click here.

South Brunswick is hosting their second Summer Technology and Learning Conference on Thursday, June 23.  Please click here for registration information.  I will be presenting (and I attended last year as well).  There were a variety of speakers, a nice lunch, and plenty of door prizes. The price is right- only $40 for the day! Here is their website for additional information.

edWeb and SPED

I’ve been a big fan of edWeb for all types of webinars.  Yesterday I attended Building an Inclusive Classroom Environment (and Shannon Holden is one of my favorite presenters).  Everything you ever wanted to know about IEPs, 504s, accommodations, and modifications.  And from the comfort of your own home!

You can watch the recorded webinar here.  Join the New Teacher Help community and you will be able to take a short quiz and get a PD certificate.  To join, go to edweb.net.

Free Summer PD

Capella University is offering a variety of free online classes for educators this summer.  Please see the information here.  There are offerings for a variety of skill and interest levels.  You had 60 days to complete the class.
