Colleagues,

This year MAALLT is trying something new--an unconference--and everyone is invited.  
  Plan now--March 4 is coming soon--to spend a pleasant weekend at the University  
of Richmond (VA) sharing ideas with your colleagues.  The unconference kicks off  
the evening of March 4 with a reception and a familiarization tour of the meeting  
spaces.  Saturday is the 'main event', while Sunday morning provides the time  
to summarize, reflect, and plan for the future.  (Sunday is also an ideal time  
to visit the city of Richmond, including the major Picasso exhibit at the Virginia  
Museum of Fine Arts.)

We're meeting in the new (open mid-August 2010) Carole Weinstein International  
Center, which has comfortable spaces and lots of technology.  It also houses the  
Spatial Analysis Lab, where participants will have the opportunity to learn more  
about the use of GIS for teaching and student research.  Starting now, the participants  
will set all the other topics and the agenda via the conference social network  
at http://maallt2011.grouply.com.  We'll experiment with several different formats:  
  'birds of a feather' discussions, TeachMeet/Pecha Kucha-style presentations,  
short workshops.  We know that everyone has something to share about the use of  
technology in language education.

Transportation and lodging information is available at the Grouply site; Richmond  
is easily accessible by car, plane, train, and bus and has a number of hotel/motel  
choices.  Complete registration information is coming soon; the estimated cost  
is $50.

So put the date on your calendar, join the conference network at http://maallt2011.grouply.com,  
and start planning your participation.  We look forward to a very interesting  
weekend!

See you March 4!

Sharon Scinicariello, Unconference Host
