NACADA Winter Seminar 2009 Here I Come!

NACADA Winter Seminar 2009 Here I Come!


First of all, I want to send a big thank you to NACADA for offering me a $500 scholarship to come down to Clearwater, Fl in February and talk about technology in advising. I would encourage others who haven't yet applied for any type of scholarship from NACADA to do so. You must be a member to apply and fill out a fairly simple application. 

TheTechnology Seminar  looks to be extremely informative with presenters Laura Pasquini, Eric Stoller, George Steele, and Karen Thurmond  serving as faculty members. The seminar schedule looks really intriguing and I am most  looking forward to participating in the social network and blog/microblog concurrent sessions. It is my hope that I will be able to spread the word about this blog as well as my application of delicious at the seminar. The application that I am most unfamiliar with, Twitter, will hopefully be discussed at length and I will come back with a better understanding of its applications. 

I would also encourage those who can't attend the conference but are interested in technology within advising to visit the Technology Seminar blog and participate with us. I will of course be blogging from the seminar and keeping everyone up-to-date on what's happening. 

Is there anything that I should be sure to ask about? Questions you want answered? Fire away and I will be sure to do my best to raise them.
