In this recording Vidya and I gather some thoughts from John Lawson about his experiences at Tulane University during Hurricane Katrina. We greatly appreciate the time that John took to come to EDUCAUSE so that others could learn from his experiences.

Note the bloggish style of the site above ... all it needs is an RSS feed.
Very effective ... nothing to trip over.

The president of Tulane has a recent presentation about their school's survival, recovery and renewal. The note on text messaging was both interesting and entertaining ... it was about 16 minutes into his presentation.
