Cook Island Teacher conference Link
This was a great opportunity to connect with educators and the tech industry leaders in the Cook Islands from 08-14 October 2022. The location was fitting for an event like those to enable educators to connect and immerse themselves in the local culture. It was especially nice to meet all the local teachers and visit Apii Te Uki Ou school in Rarotonga. I believe attending and networking are not enough to affect change. For me this is all about:
Connections| Taking Action | Being consistent | Re-connecting
