Let me tell you about the EDUCAUSE trade show that we attended in Seattle, WA in late October.  For those of you who aren’t familiar with the show, it attracted 4,300 educators and administrators from across the globe who are in need of technology solutions either for their campus as a whole or for IT-specific classrooms.  We saw lots of faculty who are already familiar with the Course Technology brand stop by our both, but also lots of new faces.  Some new folks stopped by to see demonstrations of SAM, CaseGrader, the Guided Tours or even just the course.com website to help them determine who their sales rep was.  We were raffling off an iPod so that, in and of itself, drew people in!  Other corporate booths included Blackboard, Dell, Microsoft, Apple, Angel, Turning Technologies, Quizdom and so many more.  This was the first time Course Technology attended the show and we learned a lot!
