Closing the gap from a far

     Unfortunately I could not attend Closing the Gap this year. So I decided to aggregate some cool tools from Closing the Gap from by Twitter peeps that attended the conference. First, there were two hashtags that were used for all things closing the gap: #ctg11 and #closingthegap, so if you would like to you can search for those hashtags for more information.

Here is what I found regarding cool sites:

• Weebly - Great online site tool
• QR code site
• Nova chat

Here are some presenters and exhibit hall sites:

•  Crick Soft
