Tech4Turn -- see the Capstone projects -- and more!

Saturday's "Technology for the Turnaround: A Crisis Is A Terrible Thing to Waste" (http://www.mynmi.net/Tech4Turn/)was awesome. Over 150 people participated in panel discussions on the future of digital media education and the most important technologies for the future. Tons of students showed off dozens of projects. We networked. We debated. We had fun. I am still recovering -- it was a very, very long day. Soon I will push you a full report of the day. But right now I can make available a first in the history of the NMI. All of the capstone projects for this semester had a smartphone component. So if you have an iPhone, Storm, or G1, you can see the projects that students developed this semester -- and a couple from last semester.
If you text "T4T" (get it, Technology for the Turnaround) to 59925, you will receive a text message with a link to all the student projects. This capability was made possible through Vert Mobile (http://www.vertmob.com/) -- this new company was started by three NMI grads: Kevin Planovsky, Michael Lentz, and Matti Griffin. Vert Mobile worked with the NMI Capstone class to produce the mobile hub for the Georgia Aquarium this semester. Pretty cool!
More to come soon.
