One of the pleasures of the modern academic conference is that it is now increasingly “blended” through Twitter. Blended Learning conference attendees tweeted with the hashtag #blendLAC16 and got a lively conversation going, which we collected on our Storify page.
You may find the conversation interesting if you want to:
1. See what resonated most with the audience about your presentation
Promoting a model of supported risk taking–love the ethos of @smithcollege instructional technologists. #BlendLAC16

4. Network, connect, and keep the conversation going
It's our job to build agency in our students so they can choose for themselves. #BlendLAC16 @FrostDavis
