From all the reports I have heard it sounds like the meeting was very sucessful. I was just sorry that my schedule precluded me from being able to attend. We were able to send two of our faculty members and both were impressed by the Key speakers. Good job folks. Jerry Williams, MSSU
I attended some great sessions and walked away with new contacts who I will continue to dialogue with about issues I am addressing on my own campus. I was also happy to learn of new technology capabilities and services from the vendors present. It was perfect timing for what I currently need. Thanks for a great conference. It continues to grow and get even better!

Thank you guys. Alicia, Richard and myself from KC Mo Public School are very motivated since the conferences. We are working on a partnership with the Mexican Consulate and the Secretary of Education of Mexico to bring distance learning programs starting on January 09, a wikipedia project for middle school students to interview and add info on WIKIPEDIA about local heroes and looking forward to set up a sister classrooms project with other countries for next school year... and it is just the beginning!!!
Over 125 individuals from across the state joined us at TanTarA for an exciting conference that featured over 30 presentations. Wes Fryer, our keynote speaker, got the conference off to a flying start by demonstrating "Powerful ingredients for Digitally Intractive Learning". Participants enjoyed interesting and informative presentations. One presenter stated that the conference was more like many sharing sessions as opposed to a "listen and learn" workshop. The conference ended by a fascinating demonstration of Second Life's ZeroG SkyDancers.

It was a nice variety of sessions, though I wish I had seen a few more K-12 folks.
