How can you attend NECC 2009 in DC this week if you can't get there?

Virtually!

I'm overwhelmed with the choices available for those of us who want to participate from afar. I found some great resources and asked others for input via Twitter.

The official tag for the conference is #necc09, but you can also try #necc, or #ebc (EduBloggerCon) or #ebc09 for info generated before the conference. (Some great ideas there already!!) You may find others for pre-conference events once you start browsing.

A special tag was developed by those attending virtually, too: #notatnecc09

Also see #neccunplugged.

Be sure to see Chris Hum's series of about virtual participation in NECC 2009:
