Why is EdTech Week by StartEd different from other communities and gatherings?
James Kelly: The main thing that makes a technique by started different from other communities and gatherings is the friendly nature and how open everybody is to meeting one another. Uh When you get people together, who all share, you know, the common goal, the common, sorry, the common goal of improving educational outcomes for all students. Um and using technology to do so you get a lot of like minded people and a lot of wonderful people who are teachers or have, you know, really strong, more values and are working towards really benefiting the lives of others. And so therefore, you'll find a lot of people who are extremely helpful um and extremely open to speaking with you, connecting you with their connections and overall just having a great time, whether it's over lunch or coffee or um you know, a random walk through the hallways.
