    #akedchat I have attended a conference with a team and evening dinners or time to debrief. It was AMAZING imo.
    In reply to @northpoleteach
  • spiraledu May 1 @ 11:39 PM EDT
    We also coordinated who was going where, so we could share maximum info #akedchat
    In reply to @northpoleteach
  • AScottEdu May 1 @ 11:40 PM EDT
    Often with no time to debrief and wait to return of buildings or district, thoughts and energy often lost in time. #akedchat
  • swuttig May 1 @ 11:43 PM EDT
    What have people used for collaboration if you go as a team? We tired wikis years ago. #akedchat
  • nick_schumacher May 1 @ 11:45 PM EDT
    IMO there are few professional environments as engaging or enriching as dinner with colleagues following a conference/seminar. #akedchat
