The reality is that vendors and businesses (just like government and private interests) are a part of every education system and that wise educators leverage everything to bring their students the best learning experiences they can have. It is good to know you are doing everything to help your students by attending high-quality PD like NECC.Joehttp://www.edtechleadership.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6164400845780458490.post-23615970067988651852009-07-06T15:58:16.056-04:002009-07-06T15:58:16.056-04:00Well stated.

I can't imagine anyone attending an education conference - especially one focused on technology - and not expect there to be an impressive vendor exhibit hall. That just comes with the territory.<br /><br />I have a similar relationship - mine with a non-profit - that allows me to attend the major social studies conferences.<br /><br />I'd welcome sponsorship form a reputable vendor to make a trip to Denver happen for me next year. More power to you, and to the vendors that make events like NECC happen.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12817645480571224195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6164400845780458490.post-12419198804648386012009-07-05T21:56:01.933-04:002009-07-05T21:56:01.933-04:00Andrea!
This is a great and thoughtful post. It...Andrea! <br /><br />This is a great and thoughtful post. It's no wonder that the company you mention and the one I represent are in alignment...they treat teachers the same way. I made a suggestion for Stationery Studio add-on based on my experiences in the classroom and, as of last month, that product is on the market.<br /><br />So, I think the answer for us is to not care what the other bloggers think about vendors. We can just enjoy those precious relationships we have. So glad to have read this post and found a like minded friend.TJ Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00844822890304294358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6164400845780458490.post-85856526721661068202009-07-05T20:31:45.969-04:002009-07-05T20:31:45.969-04:00Thanks, I actually didn't know anything about ...Thanks, I actually didn't know anything about them.
