conferences and training sessions over the years and I find the 4.5 days at
edACCESS to be the most productive, information, refreshing, and stimulating
days of my year. I am surrounded by 40 or so other school technology
professionals who know as much or more than I do about many, many things.
The structure of the conferences as a peer conference allows us to share a
great deal about what we know with others. I often find that six months
after the conference I am still following up with people who I talked with
at the conference sharing ideas and making improvements in my own school as
a direct consequence of what I learned/heard at edACCESS.
I don't go to any other conferences anymore because they all pale in
comparison.
