David Wiley speaks at MI AECT Chapter Event - Jan. 27

The MI AECT Board Members and Committee Chairs have been working hard on preparing our events for our first year. The first event will be held on Wednesday, January 27, 2010 at 7pm. We will be having a guest speaker, Dr. David Wiley. He will be presenting online. You can view and interact with the presenter and group from any place that has an internet connection. We have also established viewing locations (Click here...to view PDF click on "You are Invited") so you can meet and view the presentation as a group with other members. Can't make it to any of the locations? Set up your own viewing group! Spread the word to colleagues, friends, local businesses, and the like. Please email, print, and share this event with others. If anyone is interested in creating another viewing location and would like us to send it out to the members, please feel free to email me and I'll spread the word. We look forward to seeing you on January 27 at 7pm!
