What is CRSTE? From the website:
"A 21st Century Organization
CRSTE is a different kind of professional organization. Designed to meet the needs of 21st century educators, CRSTE promotes collaboration among existing professional education and educational technology organizations. Free of traditional geographic and political boundaries, CRSTE reaches out to educators across the national capital region and around the world. We promote the global sharing of ideas, energies and resources, modeling the collaborative skills necessary in the Information Age.
Reflecting the values of Generation Y, CRSTE is truly a 21st century organization. CRSTE does not maintain a large overhead or incur ongoing expenses. We do not require individual memberships or host annual events. Rather, we earn the interest and support of educators by providing timely, flexible, high-interest initiatives that meet their ever-changing professional needs. CRSTE embraces administrators, technical staff, teachers, pre-service teachers, higher education and business. CRSTE also promotes green computing; we strive to be a paperless organization, conducting all correspondence and posting all announcements and resources online, and promoting virtual meetings and professional development events."

Executive Director Walter McKenzie will be the presenter. If you've not had the opportunity to meet him, you're in for a special treat! He's a knowledgeable, passionate, and humorous man whose energy and enthusiasm knows no bounds that I've been able to discern over the 10+ years we've been friends.
