 [|Ning] is a social networking site we have set up for all MDMC members to join where you can socially network with other participants and the instructors. This is a great way for you to make contacts outside of the 4-day conference and a great place to collaborate. Click the link, create your account and explore! = =

[|Audioboo] is an iPhone/iTouch (FREE!) application that allows you to record yourself (need a mic for the iTouch) and publish straight to the web. We (instructors) have been using this during our own "Zoo Playdates" to test it out and plan to use it during MDMC to post very quick podcasts and quick interviews with some of our participants and guests. You can listen to an explanation of Audioboo below and click on any of the links below the player to hear our other quick "episodes." Let us know what you think!

Broadband Cards
During the conference, we'll access the Internet via USB [|Mobile Broadband] (not WiFi). The technology works on a PC or a Mac and uses the same network as mobile phones. This is exciting and will allow us to have Internet access throughout the Zoo and to be truly mobile. You will be receiving a card for the week that plugs into a USB port. **Please download and install this application on your computer before coming to the conference!**
 * [|Sprint Wireless AirCard 595U] - Sprint Wireless card software **//(please save time by downloading and installing from this link before you come to the conference)//**

//Option 2: [|Verizon VZAccess Manager] - Verizon Wireless card (this link is for later if we need it. No need to install now.)//

Setting Up Your Wireless Card on Mac
//So, this year we have both Verizon and Sprint wireless cards. The video below is from last year, but the concepts are the same! :) Please download the program for each wireless card by using the links above. We will have people on hand at the conference to help you, but it will save time to get the program installed on your laptop BEFORE coming to the conference.// media type="youtube" key="bqpuu_IyWbw" height="364" width="445"

Arriving at the Zoo
The conference is from 9am to 4pm each day. The zoo will be open to us each day at 8:30am. **You do not need to pay for parking or admission to the zoo.** Please tell the parking attendant that you are coming for the Milwaukee Digital Media Conference.

We will be meeting in the Peck Center which is located near the entrance just behind the Penguin Exhibit.
