I'm pleased to say that I've perfected my notetaking techniques and am more comfortable with the multi-channel chat and IM. It is like sending a personal email to the entire listserv by mistake. Except for two things. Second Life crashed - and we were all frozen and booted off. We had to log back on.

I've been following Carie Lewis's posts on the NTEN Affinity groups as well as other nonprofit tech listservs (yes, I still do read listservs) and caught up with her for an interview.

I've always had chat as a back channel to a conference call and used it to summarize key points as a sort of electronic flip chart. I posted a question on the educator listserv and there doesn't seem to be one. Of course, you'd need the aural channel for it to work. There I go again, wanting a virtual flipchart.

Folks have set up, in addition to the traditional listservs, an online channel for the Bookshare.org community that allows both voice chat and text messaging in a way that is highly accessible to people with disability.
