Social Learning Summit - archives from a great event available

The Social Learning Summit was a great, free, online educational conference hosted by Classroom 2.0 and Discovery Educator Network last Saturday. There were over 70 great sessions, led by some great educators and now the archives are available for those who missed it or who want to review things.

RJ Stangherlin, a DEN blogger, live blogged many presentations and you can find her posts here.

Every session was recorded and you can find them all here.

This was a great resource for all educators and now anyone can view the presentations.
