Tonight I picked Cyprien Lomas up at National Airport in D.C. and ferried him to the motel near the University. Jerry did the same for Rachel Smith. Tomorrow we get started with the first of two days of Faculty Academy 2006.

We’ve been working toward this event for months, and to our great delight, we have about 110 folks already registered to attend and nearly forty presentations scheduled, including sessions by our special guests and by us in the Division of Teaching and Learning Technologies. We’re going to do our best to record and podcast all the sessions, and there’s a conference blog and a conference wiki so you can all follow along.

I’ll be blogging here, on the conference blog, and on The Smooth Elephant, and tracking my comments with CoComment. At least, that’s what I hope to do. Given the way these conferences often take on a ferocious life of their own, you may not hear from me again until Thursday, as I come down from what I’m sure will be an utterly exhilarating two days. But perhaps I’ll have the presence of mind to sneak in a few words here and there.

Viva Faculty Academy!
