Andy would like to thank
you for choosing this
session! He hopes that
you found some inspiration
in some of the ideas that
he explored. He wants you
to remember that we
shouldn’t just get hung up
on the novelty of shiny,
new technologies. Andy
feels that we should focus
o n e m b e d d i n g b e s t
practices into teaching and
learning.
