School's Back and our Wimba Blog is Back

Ok, I figured if you're all back for school, that our blog should be back too.  It's been a whirlwind here at Wimba since I last wrote.  We released Wimba Classroom 5.2, met with educators worldwide at conferences like BbWorld 2008 and NECC, and virtually welcomed thousands of you to our Wimba Distinguished Lecture Series.  Also, we garnered a lot of attention to boot.  View a news clip about Grand Rapids Community College using Pronto, listen to a podcast about Wimba that was recorded at BbWorld 2008, or read any of the numerous articles that were recently penned about us.   Phew!

As we prep for the Fall, there are a few things you should look out for.  First, as always, we hope to see in Orlando at the annual EDUCAUSE Conference, but we'll also be at countless events worldwide.  Second, we'll still be accepting presentation proposals for Wimba Connect 2009 for another 6 weeks, and third, we'll be encouraging you to tell us some of the unique ways you're using Wimba.  In fact, check out this posting today by West Virginia University to learn how they're using Wimba Classroom to train their faculty on how to use an array of educational technologies. 

Good luck getting up to speed!
