I'm glad you event had a good turnout. This is why we black people need to further embrace technology beyond our cell phones. I think using Ustream was a great idea. It's good to know you can attend an event, even if you're thousands of miles away, and not feel left out.

And thank you for sharing how you and yours students used technology to make "that human contact". So many people found ways to help after hearing the news it restored some faith for who we are as human beings. I wrote about my feelings on this last week - http://thesocialcustomer.com/Home/15178. Once again thanks for sharing, and keep up the great work! Brent. Great post Ms. Donaldson. And thank you for sharing how you and yours students used technology to make "that human contact".
