Thank you everybody for making EDUCamp 2010 a success! Last Thursday, March 18, was an occassion where members of the UBC community came to learn what it means to have a sustainable education, share their experiences with each other, and interact with students, staff and faculty.
Many thanks also goes out to the presenters, debaters, and facilitators, who volunteered their time and shared their expertise and knowledge with all of us. If you’d like to look back on the sessions you attended and for those of who you couldn’t come, we will be posting as many resources as we can from EDUCamp 2010. Please feel free to check them out below and let us know what else you would like to see.
Once again, thank you all for coming. EDUCamp’s success is in no small part because of you.
