For Christy, who attended HIVE's 2020 virtual conference, she believes HIVE 2021 will be a great way for teachers to come together from across the country and learn about the math curriculum and classroom management. Christy is excited to show teachers the different technologies they can use in their classroom to create efficiencies in teaching and learning. One of her favorite parts of HIVE is being able to connect with new friends and catch up with those she has been lucky to meet in the community from Twitter.
