Barcamp Mekong on May 8, 2010 in Can Tho
BarCamp is a user-generated event — open, participatory workshop-event, whose content is provided by participants. Barcamps are unconferences where educators and professionals come together and share ideas and observations. There is no fixed agenda and all participants are encouraged to share or participate in discussions. Topics typically include programming, web design, technology usage, education, entrepreneurship. MBM is co-organizing the event at Asia Pacific College. Expected participants come from throughout Vietnam, Singapore, Germany, Cambodia and Australia.

Previous Barcamps in Vietnam were held in Hanoi and Barcamp Saigon in Ho Chi Minh City with an incredible range of topics. We feel that the “unconference” style of Barcamps are a great chance to share and learn and bring the community of the Mekong Delta together. Some of the topics we would like to see are:
- Copyrights and Creative Commons for education
- Making educational videos
- Google Maps and Google Earth in education
- Collaborative tools, microblogging tools, classroom polling tools
- Virtual Worlds in education
- Making better presentations
- Digital Photography
- Making themes and setting up CMS like Joomla, Drupal and Wordpress
- Storytelling
- Ideas on using social networks with students
- Finding the right job
- Marketing in Vietnam
