Less than 1 week until the first HOA!

A few weeks ago I shared through Google+ that I was hosting my first Google Hangout on Air. Well, it's officially less than one week away! We'll be talking about all kinds of technology integration stuff including upcoming conferences, conference proposal deadlines, as well as cool stuff that is going on. If you are interested in watching, just come join the event! Or, even better, if you are doing something cool that you'd like to share with us, please let me know!

I'm super excited/nervous, but am looking forward to getting it going.
