There are so many ways to get involved with Parkinson's disease, from community building to advocacy, research participation to fundraising. Taking that first step toward involvement can be daunting, but many people say it's a critical part of living well with the disease. In this episode of The Michael J. Fox Foundation Parkinson's Podcast, members of the Foundation's Patient Council share stories of their own first steps, explore how engagement has impacted their journeys and offer advice and perspective to others who are looking for ways to make meaningful change. Tune in to hear guest hosts Jimmy Choi, diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2003, and Hadley Ferguson, diagnosed with multiple system atrophy (MSA-P), an atypical Parkinsonism in 2014, reflect on those stories, recorded live in the MJFF offices.

In this episode, Dan and Michael chat with edcamp co-founder and executive director Hadley Ferguson and researcher Jeff Carpenter about edcamp unconferences.

Kay Stokes, Dan Pink, Stephanie Cerda, Mike Pennington, Austin Levinson, Juan Daza, Hadley Ferguson, and Noam Chomsky give commentary on the what drive teacher autonomy, purpose, and mastery in EdCamps.  Members of Journeys in Podcasting host their own EdCamp and reflect on the experience.

It’s not every day that we receive visits from entrepreneurs or nonprofits leads who can site as viral of growth as the EdCamp movement. For those of you wondering if that the name for some educational type of summer camp, let me help you out. Edcamps, or “unconferences,” bring together teachers, tech experts, entrepreneurs, and anyone else interested in the education landscape, to talk about, well, whatever they want. They involve very little planning, and the schedule is entirely decided by participants only once they’ve showed up to an EdCamp. Sound a little unconventional? Well, this novelty has become, dare we say, a viral movement since the very first gathering back in May 2010. In fact, there have been more than 250 Edcamps around the world in the last year alone. The Executive Director of the EdCamp Foundation, Hadley Ferguson, stopped by the EdSurge Office on October 19 because we were curious to learn more about just what caused this viral growth. But we didn’t stop there. Are there too many EdCamps? Are entrepreneurs starting to use them as a marketing opportunity, which affects the sacred space that is EdCamp? Are these worries becoming a reality? Hadley answered all those questions and more in this EdSurge Extra.
