Will the sessions be recorded?
We will be recording the vast majority of sessions, unless the session leader has selected not to record. These will be shared on our Program page in early June (it will be similar to what we did for the EdTech Workshop 2019). If you have registered for the event, you will get an email when these recordings are posted.
How can I connect with the session leaders?
Several of the speakers today have volunteered to do a follow up session in Gather.town fire or fountain side. These informal sessions will allow you a chance to talk further. You can see the schedule for these chats on the Timetable under the Bonus track. See the map below to help you find those digital spaces.
