Things I've built.

The #EdTech30 was a free online course designed to help teachers quickly build familiarity with EdTech tools. Launched in 2014, it ran for 30 days prior to the ISTE Conference each summer. In the course's first year, over 100 teachers from all over the world participated and called it "the most useful and productive professional development" they'd ever had.

The class was powered by Instructure's Canvas LMS and presented participants with a new challenge each day — learn about a new category of EdTech tool, create an example of how you might use it in class, and share it with the group.

• "This was one of the most empowering things I have ever done. I would take any course with you!"
• "I have learned a lot and it was a confidence builder. This has been one of the most directly useful PD efforts I have ever participated in."
• "The EdTech30 was remarkable. It made learning fun and gave me a feeling of wonder, joy, accomplishment and curiosity. Seth, you are a master teacher."

JEDcamp is an international movement of attendee-driven professional development events for Jewish educators, founded by Seth Dimbert in 2012. A JEDcamp is an "unconference" — an organic, participant-driven professional learning experience created by educators, for educators.

Since the first JEDcamp was held in south Florida on December 30, 2012, there have been over a dozen others in communities across North America including New York, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Toronto. The events are always held on a Sunday to accommodate Sabbath-observant teachers.

JEDcamps focus on conversation and participation rather than presentation. Participants choose what topics to discuss and decide which directions the conversations take. In the words of one participant: "the most meaningful PD experience of my career."
