The HighEdWeb Conference: Amazing community, fantastic insights
I’ve had the chance to attend this week the 2017 HighEdWeb Conference in Hartford, CT. And, it was amazing. Period.
From the 2 super inspiring keynotes to the numerous sessions, posters and lightning talks (my personal favorites), the conference delivered so many insights that I haven’t had a chance to fully process everything yet.
I spent the past 4 editions trying to follow the conference from afar and the twitter hashtag so I know how it feels to stay on the bench for this conference.
That’s why I prepared this quick post that I will keep updating as more slides or posts are published, so EVERYBODY can get something out of this great learning experience – even the less fortunate ones who couldn’t attend this year.
