The concepts of smackdowns come from EdCamps where it is an opportunity for fast-paced sharing and networking. At the end of a day of learning, many participants volunteer to share what they learned, whether it was a new idea, tech tool, lesson strategy, or anything else they'd like to share with the group about engaged teaching and learning practices. Participants come prepared to give a quick 1 minute pitch of what they learned and share any pertinent information (resources, URL's, etc). The information shared will be added to an online shared document that everyone can access later. Think about the following questions:
"What idea challenged your thinking, created new meaning, or opened your mind to a new practice?"
"How will this day impact your tomorrow?"
