10 Ways to Grow & Learn from Ditch That Textbook
CUE #DitchSummit - Free and On Demand!
- From July 29-Aug 4, you’ll get 1-2 new video presentations every day. We are working as a #DitchSummit team to bring in the best of the CUE, Adobe, and #Ditchbook communities. They last 30-60 minutes and are pre-recorded, so you can watch them as many times as you’d like.
- After all the presentations are released, you’ll have until August 10 to catch up on any videos that you’ve missed.
- The summit ends on August 11, so after that, all of the videos will disappear.
- The videos disappear at the end of the summit, but you can download and keep a free PDF notes page from each session. They’re summaries of each session so you can remember the key points from each presentation you watch … and even the ones you might not have time to watch.
