We're headed to San Antonio for the annual National Educational Computing Conference early next week. We're exhibiting at booth #5030 and all our information can be found here. We LOVE this conference. It's always full of old friends and new inspirational ideas.

haiku was reviewed last week by Heather Johnson, an industry critic, writing on the Education and Technology Blog. She says:
One of the most promising tools that recently launched is haiku LMS. This learning management system delivers a robust series of features so that teachers can seamlessly integrate the Web with classroom instruction.
