My NECC

Here is my NECC Schedule, so far (per Dave Warlick's instructions in "What will you be drinking in Atlanta?") It doesn't include any sessions. I'll wait to choose until I get there and see what my other obligations might be. Remember that Peggy Milam has created a great list of sessions of interest to SLMSs.

My NECC schedule is always a little packed since as an ISTE Board member I have RESPONSIBILITIES (some of which I even honor!) Sucking up to big vendors, showing one's face at major events, schmoozing with powerful SIG and Affiliate leaders - you get the drift.

But getting to visit with my buds from around the world makes all the other stuff worthwhile. I am really looking forward to seeing you all! (And that was not sucking up.)

Thanks!

Doug,

If you are in the exibits and wander past the My eCoach booth look for me! I would love to meet you in person. I enjoy so much reading your blog and anything else you write (Learning and Leading articles). I have been doing some work for My eCoach and so was invited to help out at the booth. It is my way to stow away to NECC this year! Next year is San Antonio which is only an hour away! Hopefully I will see you there!
