SIGMM Update
I am finishing up my first year as the director of SIGMM. I am excited about the conference in Detroit March 18-20, 2009.

I am looking forward to the many sessions, keynote speakers and networking with colleagues from around the state.

- Hi Michael,
With your work in Education Technology for WMU, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service. Here’s a public class recording you might find of interest.

Enjoyed talking to you in the Hotel lobby late Thursday evening about the quality of the MACUL organization. As I said, it is people like you down through the years that make this group both so effective and special.
Take care,
Jim
