National eXtension Conference (Tag: nexconf)
Our 2014 national eXtension conference was very successful during the last week of March! It was great to have so many of you participate in Sacramento or virtually during many of the web-streamed sessions.
The keynote speakers provided lots to inspire you to think differently about how we work in Cooperative Extension. Links to the recordings of the keynote sessions are at the eXtension YouTube Channel, www.youtube.com/user/eXtensionInitiative. “The Connected Organization,” by Dave Gray, “The Next Generation of Learning Practices in the Age of Knowledge Sharing and Collaboration,” by Jane Hart and “Taking the Success of a Learning Network to the Next Level,” by Betsy Graham.
The recorded concurrent sessions will be converted and also moved to YouTube this month. For now, you may find the links to the concurrent sessions in either Learn (https://learn.extension.org/events/tag/nexconf) or in Lanyrd (http://lanyrd.com/2014/nexconf/schedule).
