One of the interesting outcomes of today was learning about technology that will not necessarily be of use in my teaching, but will support my other scholarly work.
An example--I am a member of a group called the Midwest Critical Whiteness Collective, which is made up of anti-racist and critical whiteness scholars and activists from Wisconsin and Minnesota. We meet once a month and try to meet face to face, but inevitably one or more members can't make the sometimes long drives. We have been using Skype in these situations, but I was persuaded that UMConnect might serve us better--I'm looking forward to trying it out.
