Emerging Technologies for Online Learning Symposium, 2011

7/14/2011

 
What an exciting trip to San Jose! I presented with James Juarez from National University on "“Game Design and Virtual Worlds for STEM+ Learning Online.” The session was broadcasted to virtual participants from all over the world, and the feedback was excellent.  The keynote speaker, Bryan Alexander from the National Institute for Technology in Liberal Education, had a very interesting take on the future of educational technology.
