Beyond Search by Lucy Gray

This is an audio recording of Lucy Gray‘s breakout session, “Beyond Search,” on August 6, 2012, at the Blackfoot Educational Technology Conference in Missoula, Montana. Resources from Lucy's presentation are available on this blog post. Her presentation slides are available via SlideShare.
