Nerd Camp is an EdCamp inspired conference with an exclusive focus on literacy instruction. The workshop board is built prior to the conference, but the spirit of collaboration and flexibility remains strong. Teachers, librarians, administrators, teacher educators and local authors come to Nerd Camp to present and attend workshops for FREE.

Our guest today is Oona Abrams, a graduate of The College of Mount Saint Vincent and Manhattanville College, Oona teaches English at Chatham High School. Oona has presented and collaborated with colleagues at the NCTE, CEL, NJCTE, NJWA and EdTechNJ conferences, and she has been a guest blogger for NCTE and The Nerdy Book Club. She served as editor of English Leadership Quarterly from 2014 until 2018. Professional learning is one of her greatest passions, and attending #nErDCampMI and #nErDCampLI inspired her to launch #nErDCampNJ as her Genius Hour professional development project in 2017. She lives with her husband and sons in northern New Jersey.
