A few technical problems--at the UR end and elsewhere--didn't stop the talks. We ended the day on a Skype conference call with entry into an Adobe Connect room for two presentations and the attendant discussions.
To continue the discussions we started and to start new ones, we'd like to: 1. Invite the various presenters to summarize their key points on the blog for this site. 2. Ask the participants to talk about what they found interesting, useful, etc. 3. Start blog posts and discussions about the topics we didn't get to cover. In other words, let's keep the virtual unconference going through the year! Tomorrow, the MAALLT business meeting and plans for the future. We'll send out the Ustream address tomorrow morning.
 Interested in participating in Sunday's activities in cyberspace? Send your Skype name to sscinicariello@... (or send a contact request in Skype to sscinicariello).
  Sun, 3/6/11, 9:30 am - 11:30 am - The MAALLT 2011 business meeting will take place at 9:45 in cyberspace.

Claire Siskin is developing a writing workshop on line and considers it important to add a mobile component. What platforms do people use now? What platforms will they use in the next few years?
