 * Keynote - Jason Ohler**

Very powerful - the high points? Art as the fourth literacy. Old media versus new media. I could hear our own Mark Erb in Jason's keynote - the story is the thing. All the production work is for nothing if the story is not a good one. So, another key of the new literacy? Writing counts for more than ever! Possibly even reluctant writers will write more and better stories knowing they can produce them.

Video conferencing make-up? (sounded like a joke - but real.

 * Use the "bring forward" or "send back" feature to hide items/reveal items that are behind
 * build all that you do into a SNB (yeah - a shout out for my summer workshops)
 * COOL TOOL: by changing the background color of a box on your SNB page, you can move items form box to box and see words appear as if by magic (all of these are on Joe's wiki)

 * insert your videos into SNB then you can start and stop them and write as notes as you play it
