The Global Community for Academic Advising (NACADA) has identified the need to educate advisors on how to effectively implement technology into their practice. The NACADA Technology in Advising Commission continues to thrive to support new initiatives and tap into the advising needs for the profession. During the 2009 NACADA Winter Institute, the first hands-on, interactive NACADA Technology Seminar (Pasquini, Steele, Stoller & Thurmond, 2009) introduced participants to a conversation about technology in advising. NACADA continues to support online webinars to share expertise and resources throughout the United States, and across the globe. Other examples of online NACADA development and training initiatives can be found on commission group wikis, regional blogs, slide sharing websites, NACADA Facebook group page and daily on the NACADA Twitter stream.
