Chatting with fellow education technologists at a conference is one of the best parts of my job. The conversations are always enlightening, inspiring, and motivating. Our profession is still learning together—and there's nothing like coming together with other technologists who are interested in pushing the boundaries of where education technology can take us. The BrainStorm Conference in Sandusky, Ohio is no exception: it is an opportunity to connect with others from around the world who share my passions for technology and education.
