Been to our website lately? 

After some soul searchin' 

and great feedback from the NMC community, we've revamped our website. The new NMC.org is easier to navigate, informative, well-connected, and ....yes, pretty. We created it with our members in mind, so now it is easy to see how everyone is interacting with the site.

 

The "Most Engaging" section on the home page is a good place to start, as it shows you in real-time what your peers are viewing. We've also organized the site so you can quickly find every publication, every social media platform, and all of the information you need to stay on the leading edge of emerging technology and education. Make sure to watch the short video above to get to know the new site ....then make yourself at home on NMC.org!

Seasoned photographer? Aspiring shutterbug? Interested hobbyist? Sign up for the adventure of a lifetime. In partnership with Straw Hat Visuals, the NMC is hosting a Photo Safari on November 1-3 in Austin, TX, led by Sports Illustrated photographer Bill Frakes. During this three-day immersive workshop, "Focus on Light," participants will learn light painting (see the magnificent photo above), still and video portraiture, lighting for portraits, and post-production with Aperture. Good news: the hotel deadline has been extended to Monday, October 24. Have questions about the Photo Safari and registering? Email nancy@nmc.org.
