Each participant will have the opportunity to plan for the use of new technologies in their work, and get feedback on their plans.

Student Affairs Online has published an article that I wrote on Student Affairs and Twitter.

Well, it has been over a month (and a Spring Break for most of us) since we were together at the NACADA Technology Seminar in Clearwater Beach, FL. Time sure does fly when you need to catch up on campus, engage in student registration, and return to the daily office grind.

Thanks for being part of the NACADA Tech Seminar and online community both during and AFTER the event. It’s been great collaborating and sharing with many of you online since our departure from Florida on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, blogs, wikis & more!

The NACADA Tech Faculty would LOVE to learn & share with the larger group your ideas, discussions, plans & projects that you have been involved with at your home institution. Share your updates & news!

• What has happened since you left the NACADA Technology Seminar?
• How have you connected with others on campus, i.e. colleagues, supervisors, IT friends, etc?
• What development and plans have you initiated post-seminar?
• Other thoughts, news & updates for NACADA?
