There's still time to plan a road trip to lovely central Virginia, where the flowers are already blooming in the sunshine. If you can't attend in person, we hope you will participate virtually. We are planning to blog, tweet, and Ustream as much as possible of Saturday's sessions. We'll also use the chatroom at the conference website (http://maallt2011.grouply.com) for discussions. To participate virtually, join the site at http://maallt2011.grouply.com and plan now to follow the tweets from @global_studio. Up-to-date information about session topics will be posted and tweeted. To participate in person, join the site and complete the registration form--or simply show up at the International Center to register. This first-ever MAALLT Unconference is an experiment in collaborative learning, so we'd like to have as many virtual participants as possible. There are also opportunities to present virtually via Skype! (Just let us know what you'd like to talk about.)
