Feedback from 2005 conference attendees:

"Hats off to you all for a superb conference! The organization, content and facilities were excellent. All the sessions I attended shared direct applications for using handhelds to support student learning. Every teacher/principal was able to immediately integrate the ideas and applications. Additionally, the selection of keynote speakers was practical but motivational!

Thank you for sponsoring one of the best professional development experiences I have ever attended....."

Liz
