Hot Off the Press from Carie Windham - Keynote Speaker

Hi Everyone,

Don't miss the new article just published in the May/June 2007 issue of EDUCAUSE Review by our keynote speaker, Carie Windham. In Confessions of a Podcast Junkie, Carie talks about her experiences in the "real world" as a student with podcasting and also provides recommendations for institutions of higher education to promote and use podcasting. http://www.educause.edu/ir/library/pdf/erm0732.pdf

See you at the Summit!
