Lilly Conference, Austin, Texas - January 2015

I finally had a chance to travel to Austin, Texas in order to keynote a session on Teachingin Blended Learning Environments: Creating and Sustaining Communities of Inquiry for a Lilly Conference.  Of course I made sure to take lots of pictures of the capital city of Texas and I also was privileged to attend some very innovative and informative conference sessions.  I was impressed with how a large number of sessions had digital handouts and resources.  One of the highlights for me was definitely the session on Formative Assessment: Technology Enhanced Approach by Vivian Johnson and Trish Harvey from the School of Education at Hamline University in St. Paul, Minnesota.  I also enjoyed a session on Peer Mentoring .
