Student Keynotes, and student led workshops at last! Our student keynote folks knocked this out of the park this year. It was the first time in Vermont Education history that students have keynoted a conference.
What a privilege to help the board shift practice at these conferences over the years, streamline decision making, involve more people in create roles, and help people communication and collaborate.
It's been an exhausting year in so many ways... but the fruits of this conference certainly help rejuvenate me.
As emcee I receive a lot of credit, but there are so many people who did extraordinary work. My thanks to all involved, attendees, presenters, workshop leaders, organizers, Makerspace artisans and organizers, Vendors (shifting to hands-on demonstrations and tutorials, and of course our esteemed VL Board Members... we all did something special here, a new pathway in Vermont Ed conferences.
We win!
