2009-05-07 13:19:20  wstites ->  After our NJECC confence each year at Montclair State (in March) we as a group debrief afterwards, but I think having an attendee onboard for that process is huge.  Better perspective.
2009-05-07 13:21:01  wstites ->  Since a lot of your conference was available online do you thihnk that it hurt attendance given people could particpate online or wasn't that a concern?
2009-05-07 13:21:58  alex.ragone ->  will get that in, Bill.
2009-05-07 13:22:07  wstites ->  It was something I brought up with my group (NJECC) after our conference and that was a concern brought up... modeling how to use technology tools well vs getting people to attend
