What
BarCamp Redefining J School is an afternoon for students, faculty, and professionals to talk about the future of the news and how their schooling should reflect the everchanging media landscape. It will be space for students to educate students, teachers to educate teachers, and students to educate teachers.
If you've never attended, a BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. Another term for it is "unconference." The sessions are brainstormed in advance, but the schedule isn't set
