In this episode I’m going to give you a sneak peek at something exciting happening this month. In just a few days I’ll head to Miami for the FETC conference. I’m very excited to have been invited back as a featured speaker this year. It’s one of my favorite EdTech events and if you’re headed to FETC, this episode will serve as a preview of what I am up to throughout the conference week. And if you’re not headed to FETC, this episode will serve as a way to get some new tips of things I’m excited about in 2020, and get access to resources I am sharing during my sessions.
Also, if you want to follow along with the conference at home, I have an entire podcast episode full of tips for doing just that. Check out episode 020 titled Tips to Attending Conferences from Your Couch.
