The most common questions Learning Technologists are asked are\u00a0around where to start with joining the conversation. <\/span>How can\u00a0I know what\u2019s out there? How do I find out what others are doing? How can I talk to others who have similar ideas? <\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

As I mentioned in my blog post about Cardiff University ALT membership<\/a> (please read if you want to know what ALT membership means for you), David Walker wrote a very useful post on \u201cLearning about Learning Technology<\/a>\u201d on the Sussex TEL blog, about plugging yourself into the conversation. <\/span><\/p>\n
