"I think that the educational value is great—the value of going to an exhibit, going to the concurrent sessions, going to the main sessions. But one of the best things, I think, that comes out of it is that people have a chance to talk with each other ... It really is just a wonderful opportunity for people to get together and learn what’s the latest and become better teachers."
