welcome news on 2 day workshop; little propaganda there from Microsoft, they don't use their H2b visas to hire the top of the computer world from around the world, they use these visas to hire mid-level workers that we do STILL have a glut; this is an area where any worker could be easily trained to fit these jobs.
another caveat: What about the 5W's of this conference? No links to refer us back to this program, not even an NSF or CS link; will it be only in MA? Retro
history of visualization from analog to digital and trends for the future in interview with Marc Canter, "The master of multimedia...".
the author of Elegant Universe explains how science is a part of life that we need just like art and music;

how we have eliminated science and wonder from most classrooms, so we have to hire "science coaches".
how ISTE and NECC control podcasts and other media
another blog relatted to the curtailment of "unauthorized press" or individuals podcasting any NECC sessions w/o presenter AND ISTE permission. Questions:
Does ISTE and presenter permission need to be in writing?
Does it need to be gathered before the conference?
If these answers are yes, they I would agree that this is proof of censorship; especially if ISTE is not podcasting each session themselves.
more explanation of the NECC/ISTE corporate mingling in a nonprofit organization; discusses various methods that large corporations can buy attention and approval through ISTE to NECC and to their members who purchase these materials
