Rave Reviews for "LOL@NECC: Part Deux" presentation at NECC

Michael Jay, Saul Rockman, and Elliot Soloway gave the crowd at this year's NECC a lighter view of today's most pressing issues and challenging topices in educational technology. LOL@NECC: Part Deux tackled Scientifically Based Research, NETS for parents, handheld devices for assessment, and burgeoning technologies with a tongue and cheek perspective.

Michael Jay's recommendations for innovative new handheld devices included a hands-on demonstration of Michael's own patented "BlowHardAssessement". The presentation elicited laughter, tears and the following comment from attendee Michelle Gilmer, "All I can say is this man is not right. He was absolutely hilarious...".
