This past week I had the opportunity to attend the New Media Consortium's annual conference. This year it was held locally (yay!) and hosted by one of our neighbors (MIT). I have written three separate blog posts to share some news, aha moments, thoughts and criticisms from the plenaries and sessions I attended:

I also tweeted (a lot!) during the session and snapped some photos of the presenters, as well as their slides. Checkout my twitter stream for these photos: http://www.twitter.com/koutropoulos
As an aside, are any of you (current student and alumni) interested in teaching language online? If you are teaching online, what are your experiences. If you would like to teach online, what sort of knowledge and tools do you think you are lacking? I've been thinking seriously about proposing a course on teaching languages online and this conference made me think more about it.
