SIG News: OCTOBER 2007

Welcome to SIG News, the quarterly newsletter for ISTE’s Special Interest Group Program.

NECC 2007 in Atlanta has come and gone, and we hope many of you were able to attend this year's amazing conference. For those of you unable to make the event, we have included a recap of SIG activities at NECC. We've also interviewed our SIGTel Online Learning Award Winners, who presented on their innovative project at NECC.

We have some great membership networking opportunities for you this fall, from the launch of our SIG Membership Wikispaces, to SIGMS' virtual Speaker Series, to the Grand Opening of our new island in Second Life. We hope you'll take advantage of these networks and events, as well as consider participating in the call for content for NECC 2008 in San Antonio.

Thanks for reading,

Katrina Svoboda
SIG/Membership Program Manager
