Connexions Conference: Day Two


Day Two of the Connexions Conference was the Conference itself. There was a ton going on between the many presentations, panel discussions, breakout sessions and the numerous conversations between attendees.

Major happenings at the conference were:
  • Inspiring keynote by Hal Plotkin, Senior Policy Advisor, Department of Education
  • Connexions will be part of a major multi-foundation grant. The first of the grant's 2 phases will add 5 high quality textbooks to Connexions. To paraphrase the Executive Director of Connexions, Joel Thierstein, "this could change education as we know it."
  • Connexions now has a mobile version of the website. Check it out on your phone at mobile.cnx.org.
  • You can see other's comments about the Conference on Twitter. Search for the #cnxconf hashtag,
