Greetings!
We are very excited about the potential of this Ning to really increase communication and collaboration among NECC attendees and those who are interested in NECC but can't attend. It has the potential to totally transform and extend your conference experience.

The NECC program and exhibits are huge. Please let us know anything we can do to help you find what you need.

Thanks,
Anita

David Gibson - simSchool and Global Challenge

I'll be in the games area on Tuesday showing simSchool with preservice teachers and teacher educators from the University of North Texas. I'd like you all to pass along an invitation to high school students with an interest in Earth Science. We're forming the US Team to attend the 2nd International Earth Science Olympiad and would like to invite students to "try-out" for the 5 spots available. Send them to Global Challenge - Special Opportunities.

Bonjour from Atlantic Canada. I will be attending my first NECC conference and am impressed by the subjects/strands and people who will be there. I've been following a number of them via their blogs and am looking forward to exchange on common issues that passionate us, i.e. learning in/for the 21st century. This is my 3rd Ning community; just love the networking capacities. Like George Siemens says, "Here" means less and less but "Connected" means more and more. But being in beautiful San Antonio will also be very meaningful ;-)

From Papillion-La Vista Public Schools outside of Omaha, NE. This will be my first NECC and I am very excited. Twitter page is http://twitter.com/plvitf. I've become addicted to Twitter and my last tech presentation at our state conference was on using YouTube in our classrooms.

Hello Everyone,

I am a former high school physics/math teacher who is now an instructional technology graduate student and part time instructional designer for a community college. I will not be able to attend NECC, but am looking forward to ways to connect through the Ning and other online events.

As I am working hard on a book to be published by ISTE, I won't be attending NECC this year. I do plan to go next year and take the train to Washington, DC. I will for the first time bring my husband, a Vietnam Vet, to see the Wall. I will travel with him and my pal Kathy Schrock. I will be a fun adventure.

Keep me posted as to the exciting ideas that will be passed around this year.

Hi everyone!

I am a campus-based instructional coach and edublogger from Houston, TX and this will be my third trip to NECC. I absolutely love the conference and I am looking very forward to attending again! This year I will be attending/participating as a presenter/speaker as well, so I am excited (as well as nervous) about the opportunity to share and learn with others in my session. I will post information about my session on my profile soon.

I am very interested in Web 2.0, general technology integration issues, and leadership for 21st Century learning. I also have an interest in eLearning, blended learning environments, and virtual schools/distance education.

I can't wait to see all of you -- and learn with you -- in San Antonio!
