Let the Games Begin: ISTE NECC 2009!
Hello and welcome from ISTE’s 30th Annual National Education Computing Conference in Washington, DC! I’m Zach Goodwin — a designer, technologist, and writer — and I’ll be one of a team of tech-obsessed bloggers who will serve as your virtual guide throughout the next four days of ed tech madness. If you would like to get in contact, you can send me an email at zach@istrategylabs.com or connect with me (@zbgoodwin) via Twitter.
I arrived this morning at about 10 am, highly caffeinated and ready to type. I spent first few hours walking the cavernous halls of the Washington Convention Center looking awestruck, unable to comprehend the epic scale of the place, and the enormous number of NECC attendees. It is truly a sight to behold. Everywhere there are hundred-foot ceilings, brighly colored banners, and scores of genial volunteers in lime-green t-shirts. For such a large place, it feels immediately welcoming.
Beginning at 1 pm, our team kicked off the live-streaming for ISTEConnects.org. The much-loved Joe Corbett (@ISTEConnects) interviewed members of ISTE’s marketing team, as well as a few passers-by — you can check it out here.
At that about takes us up to the present moment. I’ll be reporting on new developments as they happen, so just keep hitting refresh!
See you in a few,
Zach Goodwin
