Unlike traditional conferences, sessions are not planned or scheduled until the morning of the event using a scheduling board on which attendees can place an index card with their session on it

The sessions range from basic conversations around teaching methods to sessions sharing digital projects by students or sessions based around just having fun. Most BarCamps have a technology focus, and many edcamps include sessions about using technology in the classroom, but a technology focus is not necessary. However, it is suggested that you bring a laptop to an edcamp as many presentations will be interactive and there is usually a heavy backchannel conversation going on. It is also a great way to be two places at once when you want to attend two different sessions at the same time.
