Welcome to Episode 33, EdCamp Whitfield! Pay no attention to the name being Episode 34 in the intro... This is number 33.

It really was a treat to attend EdCamp Whitfield on Saturday, 10/21/17. Every EdCamp I've been to has been a magical experience and EdCamp Whitfield was no different. Pam Pettyjohn, Ge-Anne Bolhuis and crew put on a great party. That's what an EdCamp really is... an educational party!

During this round of EdCamp I (Lee) brought my equipment with me so I did a podcasting session. I was able to have some great conversations with Teri Pendley from Floyd County Schools and then we took some questions from the audience. One of the members of the audience was none other than my AP Government teacher from High School, Mr. Brad Hayes! Mr. Hayes is now the Assistant Principal of the Whitfield County College and Career Academy! He recounted some tales from the past and gave some insights as to what is happening in the present. You are also treated to insights from other Whitfield County College and Career Academy teachers.

The podcast closes with a sit down with organizers Pam Pettyjohn (@wcstechdivas), Ge-Anne Bolhuis (@gabolhuis), and the Principal of Valley Point Middle School, Mr. Barnette. If you want to follow the backchannel of the day, check out @EdCampWhitfield and #edcampwhitfield. Good times with good folks!
