The opportunity to share the ideas is always welcome; however, the way the days have been structured will take us further than just talking. As always, I expect that we will leave NTLS with further understanding of the issues, deeper questions we want to investigate, and some action items. My hope is that we help set an ambitious plan to share these ideas and thoughts.

The forthcoming Handbook of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge for Educators will be a welcome volume for researchers, practitioners, and policy makers as we work together towards the successful integration of multiple techlologies in teacher education. I look forward to the NTLS in early October and expanding our partnership. Together, we can attack the wicked problem that has been so beautifully described by the work of Mishra and Koehler and others. See you in October. Joel Colbert Colleagues,

If you haven't yet had a chance to check out the <a href="http://www.citejournal.org/vol7/iss3/editorial/article1.cfm" rel="nofollow">CITE Journal editorial</a> mentioned above, please do so! I think that it will help us in great measure to jump-start our TPCK-framed, interconnected work at NTLS IX. And, if you haven't yet had a chance to read Punya & Matt's <a href="http://punyamishra.com/tpck-wiki-links/mishra-koehler-2006.pdf" rel="nofollow"> seminal article about the TPCK framework</a>, it's also highly recommended (and helpful!) reading to do before we see each other on October 4th & 5th. The agenda looks ambitious, but *most* exciting! I'm looking forward to seeing everyone then. -Judi Harris College of William & Mary Greetings from Williamsburg, VA!

(Well... except maybe for the one during the hurricane!;) I want to extend a special request to everyone to take the time during Oct. 4-5 to say hello to our guests from IES (Ed Metz), NSF (Sylvia James) and the NSF Information Technology Experiences for Teachers and Students (ITEST) Learning Resources Center (Leslie Goodyear). These agencies work with initiatives near and dear to NTLS and SITE in particular. See you all in a few days! Gerald Knezek Greetings everyone,
