NECC 2007 - Atlanta


Off to the next technology conference in Atlanta. Meeting up with old friends and some new ones. Started off on Saturday with the ISTE affiliates' annual meeting. Deb, Cyndi, Kathy and I represented NH. We spent the whole day in air conditioning while it was 97 degrees outside! (They still have a drought here.)



We had dinner at the Sundial restaurant that revolves at the top of the hotel. I got to meet the Women of the Web 2.0!



Sunday, we had some down time and headed to the World of Coca-Cola Museum. At the end of the tour, they have a sampling room to taste the various products they make around the world. [Stay away from the Italian soda called Beverly. Yuck!] Did like some of the Latin American varieties with the fruit flavors.

Searched for a geocache on the way back to the hotel. Bill found it first. It was called Lunchtime Special.

The conference started Sunday evening with a keynote speaker discussing how the future demographics are going to change the way we teach and live. First time I've heard a tech person include 'being green' in his presentation.
