Don’t forget to give AECT your feedback about what presentations you feel you would be most likely to attend at this year’s convention in Dallas. Your feedback will help ensure that the most valued presentations get the best time slots and largest rooms.

DDL members,

A while back I tested a possible SuprGlu page that would aggregate all of the RSS feeds from blogs belonging to DDL members into our RSS source. The benefit is that you can subscribe to one feed and hear all the chatter from DDL members.

That was a test. It was only a test.

But now I’m ready to do it for real (since nobody raised any objections…)

So this is the official DDL SuprGlu site:

The following comes from Phil Harris:

Dear AECT Member:

You are invited to participate in AECT’s 2006 Salary Survey, available
online at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=171061881152

As part of AECT’s mission to serve and represent professionals in the
field and support professional growth we periodically survey our
membership about their employment to find out, for example, what jobs
our members do, how much they are paid, where they work, and why they
stay in their current jobs.

The information we gather from this survey will be used in a report we
will make available to our members through TechTrends, the first such
report to be offered since 1998 (see Pershing, J.A. & Lee, S.H. (1999).
Employment profiles and compensation. TechTrends, 43(6), 7-14.

This survey is both voluntary and anonymous; no information will be
obtained that will identify you, or how you have responded.

Please complete the survey by FRIDAY, APRIL 7. This should take less
than 10 minutes of your time.

Thank you for helping AECT gather information that will help you! We
greatly appreciate your participation.

Sincerely,

Phillip Harris

AECT Executive Director
