In the UStream/Skype/Elluminate/etc. era, I wonder how much longer the f-2-f conferences will last. And, given the state of the economy and the costs of travel, I wonder even more. Finally, putting those two things together, what happens when the public finds out how much it costs for a school/LEA to send educators to a conference like NECC?

Kind of connected to your last post–wonder what the teachers look like from the schools that can afford to send teachers?

I already submitted my request to attend NECC 2009–maybe my school with lots of time to plan can work me into the budget.
