I didn’t get to attend last year but this year I did as a presenter and a participant.

The day began with a live meet up with Marco Torres from US via iChat.  Three main points that Marco made were – Think Big, Think Bold and Think Ahead.  There’s a lot to be said about this as often we go gently, gently.

What I liked about this conference was that it was held on a school day.  It was lovely to see real teachers (and students) presenting in a school using real examples of student work.  From a list of many sessions I was able to attend one on Blogs and Wikis and one on SuperClubPlus.  Both were informative and practical.  There were many other sessions which also wish I had had the chance to attend.  Lucy Barrow has taken some photos of the day here.

We done Lynbrook PS.  A great conference.
