I attended the eduWeb conference earlier this week in Boston. I got a chance to meet many of you, talk to new folks and exchange great ideas.
While I was able to take away a lot, I also had to keep up with work which prevented me from attending some of the sessions that were on my list.
So, big thanks to all the speakers who shared their slides (I wasn’t able to find a few presentations that were on my original list, but I’ll make sure to update this page if I find them online). Whether you attended the conference or not, the following are definitely worth browsing.
This is a 9+1 list because I’m also adding the video that won the conference contest. Kudos to Francis Rizzo from Hofstra University for putting this little production together between sessions. I don’t know about you, but I see real talent and a sharp eye there. Aren’t we all looking for [more] power at these conferences — and in our industry?
