I am thrilled to have been invited to deliver the keynote address at the Upstate Technology Conference recently.
Embedded here please find the keynote address, in its entirety. Please understand this is my first keynote address, so that might explain my nervousness!
I want to thank Jeff McCoy, Tim Van Heule, Tim Cushman, Cathy Arnold, Kevin Merritt, Donna Goldsmith, and everyone who attended for your support.
A special thanks to MaryAnn Sansonetti and Cathy Nelson for their unwavering support in helping me so much over the years.
You can see the video on Blip.tv if you like, or click through and see it here.
With no further adieu…

Your keynote address was a rockin good time! That’s why, even though I was fortunate enough to be there and see you deliver it, I am watching here again. Hope that the rest of the summer is a great one for you and your family.

Hi Chris,
Appreciate the mention in your keynote, but just an FYI – I’m not a library god. I put my hair in a bun one strand at a time just like everyone else.
Great job and thanks for the mention.

Chris,
Great presentation! I enjoyed listening to all of the ways you integrate technology with your students. Do you think I could drop my daughter from PE to take Spanish?
See you around,

Chris – You, too, have a cool accent!
Thanks for posting this video. I appreciate the fact that you focused on the students’ needs. The need for them to want to come to class, to be motivated, for you to know them by name.
I’ll try to tune into Keynote #2 LIVE!
