“<strong>The</strong> wealth <strong>of</strong> ideas and material<br />
on display is stagger<strong>in</strong>g, and <strong>in</strong> my<br />
18 years <strong>of</strong> teach<strong>in</strong>g I have not<br />
attended anyth<strong>in</strong>g quite like this.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are so many new<br />
experiments and approaches that<br />
can be used <strong>in</strong> the class that I feel I<br />
have learned more ‘tricks <strong>of</strong> the<br />
trade’ <strong>in</strong> one week than I did <strong>in</strong> all<br />
my previous years’ teach<strong>in</strong>g.”<br />
