I know of one person presenting from NJ. "Using Google Apps to Foster Global Collaborations" will be presented by
Lisa Thumann, from the
CMSCE at Rutgers University. Her session description: "One of the most effective ways to get students collaborating with each other is to use tools that are easily accessible. If the tools are browser agnostic, have no demand for installations or updates, and are intuitive, the collaboration is more likely to be effective. Together, let’s look at Google Forms, Docs and Sites as a suite of tools to facilitate and foster Global collaborations."
You can also follow Twitter posts now and during the conference with the hashtag
#GlobalEd10.
