The technology worked beautifully. Thank you SO MUCH for your attentive and careful stewardship of this process. This was a very high-stakes event and you did an amazing job of making it work so well.

Joe Blatt…

brought Hollywood producer Leslie Greif to talk to class about educational media (twice).

“

I was really happy with the outcome: the students were eager participants, as you could tell from their great questions; Leslie seemed to enjoy himself; and we surfaced a lot of themes and ideas relevant to the course. This was one of the most successful [web] conferences I have seen in our years of using this technology here at HGSE.

My Elluminate session with the Australians last night went very well. All of your consultation in advance helped me design a process of interaction that seemed to keep people engaged. And Gino's preparation with Doug and me resulted in a totally smooth experience technically. You were absolutely right that I needed a driver - just too much to keep track of the substance and all the little buttons at the same time….I think your combination of pedagogical and technological consultation is really excellent!!
