A camper would like to do a session on using Twine in the classroom and/or a more general session on games in the classroom.

THATCamp Community College 2017 will be in the Willingboro (248) Room at Votta Hall. Our “travel” page will be updated in a moment.

Every August there seems to be numerous op-eds in education newspapers about BANNING LAPTOPS in the classroom. I would love to moderate a session about accessibility in the classroom and specifically these sorts of bans.

Registration for THATCamp Community College 2017 is now open! THATCampCC will take place at Rowan College At Burlington County in Mount Laurel, NJ on Friday September 29th. The unconference will open for session proposal/voting at 0900 and take place on the third floor of Laurel Hall. Click on the “register” link above or right here.

Due to RCBC being closed on Fridays during the summer, THATCamp Community College 2017 will be on a Friday this fall. We are still determining the right date for it and will post updates once that is determined.

THATCamp Community College 2017 will be sometime during the fall of 2017 at Rowan College At Burlington County in Mount Laurel, NJ. Unconference sessions and workshops will take place during the event.

More information will be forthcoming in the summer.
