Attendees from our cluster**

Emphasis has narrowed to what is important in the classroom. ||
 * **Name** || **School/Org** || **Outcomes from Conference** ||
 * Lorna Hopkins || Sunnyvale ||  ||
 * Wendy Spence || Sunnyvale || Understanding that we don't need to be overwhelmed by the technology, that the most important thing is that the teacher makes the difference. Networking with other teachers, making the time during the conference was great for gaining ideas and discussions with other teachers.
 * Bruce McLachlan || Swanson ||  ||
 * Tracey Denyer || Birdwood || Realising that ICT is a tool to help teach and learn. Being able to meet other great people to collaborate and work with through discussions, and knowing that they are now close contacts who can advise when needed. ||
 * Amanda Whitehead || Birdwood || Networking with other teachers was great for gaining ideas and learning what works well for them. Huge discussions and collaborative sharing with teachers offering ongoing assistance. I have made a specific learning outcome to myself that I will add children's work to a class website created by myself on a regular basis and use it as a working document that the children, parents and I can feel proud of. ||
 * Sue West || Globo Ltd. ||  ||
 * Angie Simmons || Globo Ltd. ||  ||
 * Christine Abercrombie || Royal Road || With this being the first year I have joined the ICT cluster, I found the conference a great way to share and discuss ideas that are happening throughout New Zealand. My own learning outcome is to continue to broaden my knowledge of programmes and information avaliable that I can implement into my classroon practices. ||
 * Shirley Bishop || Royal Road || For me this is the third year of going to the Learning at School conference 2009, in Rotorua. Once again I found key note speakers informative and the breakout session practical and easily able to be transferred back at school. I spoke to many other 'nameless' people from previous years who were interested in the progress we have made as a school and cluster and it was great to catch up with them. Our school's future direction has become clearer for both ICT and Inquiry and our team. ||
