ECOO Conference

My congratulation to the ECOO conference committee for a great conference.  As with every year I leave with so many new ideas.  The IT guys at my board really don't like this time of year since they have to settle me down. 

On another not, for those who sat in on my session for digital story telling I am hoping to get the slides up shortly.  I will also provide the links that I had during my session.  Thank you for your participation and feel free to ask any questions.

Keep up the good work ECOO.
