Presenters have the option to post their handouts to the NECC Web site. The deadline for presenters to submit their handouts is July 13. All handouts are automatically posted to the Web site when received.
Looking for a handout for a particular session?
- Use the Program Search to find the session you're interested in; you can search by title, presenter last name, keyword, and more. Once you've found the particular session, click on the title to get to its Search Details page. The handouts, if provided by the presenter, will be posted to the Search Details page in PDF format.
- Some presenters prefer to post their handouts on their own Web sites. If the session you're interested in doesn't show any handouts, be sure to check the presenter's own site—the URL (if provided) will be posted on the Search Details page.
Want to browse through all available handouts?
- Go to the Program Search and find the checkbox for Handouts to Date near the bottom of the page. By clicking on that box, you'll get a Search Results page showing all presentations whose presenters have submitted a handout or Research Paper. You can browse the Search Results page until you find a session that interests you, then click on the title of the presentation to get to its Search Details page, where the handouts are posted in PDF format.
- You can limit your handout search by any of the search fields available on the Program Search page. For example, if you want to find handouts on podcasts, search for "podcast" in the title field and check the Handouts to Date box. The Search Results page will show you those presentations with "podcast" in the title whose presenters have submitted handouts. Click on a title to get to the corresponding Search Details page, where the handouts are posted in PDF format.
Interested in viewing the Research Papers?
- Use the Research Papers link on the Program menu. The Search Results page will show the actual Research Paper, if submitted. If the presenter submitted additional handouts, those will appear on the Search Details page, which you can access by clicking on the title of the presentation.
Want to read what's been blogged about a session?
- New this year, we've created tags for every session to make it easier to find blog entries about a particular session. On the Program Search Results and Details pages, we've listed a tag specific to each session. On the Details page, we've listed the tags again, AND included a session-specific Technorati link so you can read all the entries on that specific session.
- Also, Steve Hargadon has compiled a list of all the tags and added blog and Flickr links and feeds for each, all in alpha order by presenter. Check it out!. Our thanks to Steve and David Warlick for the "Blog this Session" idea.

A New, More Interactive NECC
This year's NECC is the most hands-on and interactive ever! New program offerings include: Model Lesson sessions presented in a fish-bowl style model classroom featuring 21st-century technologies—attendees participate as students or observers.
Hands-on "BYOL" (Bring Your Own Laptop) session presenters actively engage attendees in discovery during the session itself.
The Bloggers' Café features active and participatory blogging events and activities.
Moderated Problem/ Solution Panels focus on successful solutions to commonly faced challenges with interactive dialogue between audience and panelists.
And, back by popular demand, the Hands-On Open Source Lab will once again enable participants to explore popular open source applications and resources.
