I'd like to say that even though my two conference hand-outs are available
at my website, they do little to convey the wealth of information shared at
my workshop, not just the information in my presentation but the fabulous
sharing session in a room of 150 practicing LMS's about roadblocks to
collaboration. Anyone who must forego the conference due to economic
constraints cannot hope to capture the richness of the workshop sessions
with a printouts. It's only a teeny sliver of the delicious pie.
And alas, because I know how enormous economic prohibitions are to our
professional development these days!
