Today’s Gathering has pre-recorded sessions (to allow greater flexibility for presenters and tech hosts during the pandemic). 

This means:

• Sessions will post each hour. Refresh the page if you do not see the video. 

• Keep your eye on the time! You will see the session from the start, not live in progress… don’t miss the next one!

• Tweet with #TheEdCollabGathering. Presenters looking forward to connecting!
