Last year I knew I wanted to develop podcasting in the school and the fact that I had been accepted to present at NECC helped keep me going throughout the year. My request to you is show us what you are doing with your students in your school combined with your own educational philosophy. Easy right? ;-) Even though I love all of our conference professional consultants (Warlick, Stager, Richardson et al) I think you and I and others are still in an enviable position as we are continuing to face students everyday and deal front on with emerging technologies, with implementation problems, professional development issues and more. We also face solving these within a non-US and non-western culture which makes it twice as challenging and interesting I think (I would prefer to call it interesting and not dwell on the 'novelty' aspect that creeps in.....Bangladesh, where is that? Gee, you have come a long way!!) Be passionate about what you do and present on real-life classroom experiences...I look forward to seeing you in Atlanta. Good luck, Julie Jeff
