Re: Technology Conferences

I definitely second Educon. It's an amazing experience.

I also help organize the NYSAIS Education and Information Technology confer=
ence each November at beautiful Mohonk Mountain House in New Paltz, NY. Th=
e conference is in an unconference format, allowing you to learn and share =
whatever you are passionate about.

This year, we have two keynoters as well:
Michael Wesch, PhD, Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology, Kansas St=
ate University
and
Siva Vaidhyanathan, University of Virginia, author of The Googlization of E=
verything=20

If you're interested, you can register here:=20

Have a great weekend, everyone!
