During three years we’ve learned/shared lots of very important ideas during our meetings/conferences/informal talks:
• The SL is an idea, not a space. All school could/should be a SL/LC
• If the SL closed one day, what would change at school?
• The SL did not happen by chance
• The resources are important , but more important is what you do with them
