 * We determined the themes for the 8 playground stations
 * We agreed that each booth should emphasize project-based learning and professional connections as approaches to using the featured technologies
 * We created a tentative scheduling concept for each booth - with smaller sections being highlighted throughout the day
 * Lisa mentioned creating a mirror playground in Second Life for those who cannot attend the playground in person
 * We also discussed using the ISTE ning before, during, and after the conference for continuity
 * Lynne volunteered to create a draft application for booth volunteers
 * We will meet again on Sunday, March 29 at 8pm ET to continue to refine the schedule
 * Attendees expected to be a combination of librarians and other school and district technology leaders
 * 7 - 8 playground stations using various library-related Web 2.0 technologies
 * Stations more about the educational applications rather than the technologies themselves
 * Interactive, hands-on
 * Possible split some stations to two 4-hour presentations
 * Attendees walk away with tips they can use immediately
 * Back-channel Web 2.0 running from playground
 * Possibly combination of nationally-known presenters with librarians working in schools

Possible Playground Stations: Brenda's additional ideas
 * Prometheum Board (Lynne): used in combination with Elluminate and other tools
 * Twitter Booth (Tweet station for attendees - back channel) - Include Facebook here
 * Podcasting/Vodcasting
 * Second Life (Lisa): include in-world mirror event as a back-channel for those who cannot attend
 * Digital Storytelling
 * Wikis & Beyond: shared document websites/tools, wikis, blogs
 * Webcam/Skype/Flip Cameras - back channel?
 * SketchUp/graphic design (Brenda)

Other Idea:
 * Use personal response systems to garner attendee feedback and demonstrate technology
 * Integrate "Head/Heart/Foot" reflective model (Shelee)
 * Can we integrate concept of learning communities? Innovative Teachers Network - Library Peer Coaching
 * Use a Scavenger Hunt model for those who would like to visit all stations
 * Collect information about the playground at the ISTE Ning
 * Use Drupal, Doodle.com, SketchUp
 * Innovate library furniture/lounge chairs in center area
