Description

Last week on the podcast we gave our thoughts on the Learning Technologies conference. Today, we ask whether we should resist the urge to jump on the latest tech and focus on learners instead. Author and consultant Patti Shank joins Ross G and Owen to discuss. If you'd like to share your thoughts on the show, you can tweet us @RossGarnerGP, @OwenFerguson, and @PattiShank.
