This	
  was	
  an	
  educa-onal	
  conference	
  like	
  no	
  other.	
  During	
  the	
  week,	
  I	
  met	
  lots	
  of	
  people	
  who	
  are	
  
passionate	
  about	
  the	
  use	
  of	
  technology	
  in	
  the	
  classroom,	
  who	
  have	
  expert	
  technical	
  knowledge	
  
and	
  great	
  teaching	
  skills	
  and	
  classroom	
  prac-se.	
  But	
  more	
  than	
  anything,	
  they	
  are	
  passionate	
  
about	
  sharing	
  their	
  skills	
  to	
  support	
  and	
  develop	
  community	
  and	
  educa-on	
  well	
  beyond	
  their	
  
own	
  se@ngs.	
  
	
  
The	
  conference	
  has	
  enabled	
  me	
  to	
  understand	
  what	
  the	
  DEN	
  community	
  is	
  about.	
  It	
  is	
  about	
  
celebra-ng	
  what	
  teachers	
  do,	
  about	
  celebra-ng	
  the	
  best	
  opportuni-es	
  for	
  children	
  to	
  learn.	
  It	
  is	
  
about	
  sharing	
  and	
  suppor-ng	
  others,	
  in	
  a	
  network	
  where	
  everyone	
  is	
  on	
  common	
  ground,	
  
happy	
  to	
  give	
  to	
  others	
  and	
  help	
  out.
