Your Invite to the Fall Tech Coach EdCamp 😎
We’re hosting our National Fall 2026 Tech Coach EdCamp on October 29th from 12:00 to 2:30 PM ET.
If you’ve never been to one before, it’s a completely free EdCamp created by tech coaches for tech coaches. There are tons of sessions on a wide range of topics, so you can jump into the ones that best fit your needs.
We usually have over 400 coaches from across the country join us, and the energy is always amazing. You can check out the session list here. This isn’t a Wayground-focused event. It’s all about bringing tech leaders together to share ideas and learn from each other.
Resource Rodeo: Classroom-Ready Media Literacy Resources
Join us Tuesday, October 27 @ 7 pm ET during Media Literacy Week for a fast-paced virtual Resource Rodeo featuring classroom-ready lessons and activities for grades 6-12 from the Digital Inquiry Group, Facing History & Ourselves, KQED, the National Writing Project, PBS LearningMedia, and NAMLE.
You'll explore lessons and activities across subject areas — including civics, ELA, and history — that integrate media literacy practice to help your students build critical thinking, communication, and civic engagement skills, and leave with practical ideas, free resources, and fresh inspiration to bring into your classroom.
