Stay in the know: New teaching and learning resources

Hi everyone,

When I started pulling together this week's message, I quickly realized that it was going to be difficult to capture all the timely and insightful conversations going on (and coming up in the near future). I've limited this to a quick rundown of 10 resources and opportunities you might have missed, but there are so many more. For our centralized teaching and learning calendar, be sure to visit Teaching.IU.
