Comments on: NACAC08 in Review http://squaredpeg.com/index.php/2008/09/30/nacac08-in-review/ Brad J Ward's Thoughts on Higher Education Recruitment Thu, 15 Sep 2011 07:23:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Kathryn Spruill http://squaredpeg.com/index.php/2008/09/30/nacac08-in-review/comment-page-1/#comment-1112 Kathryn Spruill Wed, 08 Oct 2008 01:29:46 +0000 http://squaredpeg.com/?p=214#comment-1112 I'm late reading this (I had to take some R&R after NACAC) but Brad, the highlight of the conference for me was getting to have real-life conversations with people that I've interacted with for months online (like you)! Also, look at the demographics of conference attendees/presenters. It's a generation gap! Stein tried blogging "live" from the booth and it was, admittedly, less than thrilling. And our facebook page now has an album of pics with forced smiles and raw oysters. But we did demo twitter for probably ten institutions' enrollment VPs! Things change; people retire ;) and I saw that they're already advertising for bloggers to start for next year's conference in Baltimore.

Don't worry I'll try and keep you connected during HighEdWeb. Got a blinging HD webcam so we'll push the quality of the video content to the limit. Honestly I'm already starting to feel the #heweb08 overload of content and I don't even go for a few more days. After eduWEB there is absolutely no doubt this conference will attempt to take content creation and social media to a higher bar. Saturday cannot come soon enough. So what did you learn from NACAC besides collecting a ton of worthless swag? Brad,

Shocking that I only found a few tweets during NACAC...and that universities aren't really diving into edgy media but big $ enterprise solutions that are years behind. Agreed!

Sounds like they need a nudge to get the ball rolling. It really does blow my mind– I figured there’d be a conf strand dedicated to social media.

I did not go to it mainly for that reason. If you're going to talk the talk, walk the walk. Other than that... I didn't see anything else. There was a session on blogging/IM as well.

How is that possible. Discouraging to hear. Not a single session on social media? How is that possible. Discouraging to hear.
