Tech Nerd Camp is a summer professional development program to prepare teachers to use technology in their classrooms. Mounds View is a GAFE district and we are implementing Chromebooks so the focus of our camp was on tools that would be useful for our teachers. The Tech Nerd Camp idea could be modified to accommodate other technology initiatives and to fit a different, less nerdy theme. The camp included a face-to-face kickoff session, nine online activities, and a face-to-face collaborative project. The estimated time commitment for teachers was 45 hours.
