**Section E: What would make you want to come back and continue using the MALT Community platform?**
//In short: People wish to stay connected//

//The Specifics://
 * Platforms to Connect:**
 * Through a social media platform
 * face to face meeting
 * Facebook
 * Google +
 * I would like Google+ and/or facebook just for Pepperdine alumni
 * Professional networking, a-la Linked In (if not Linked In itself)
 * Through any means, often I feel like their advice could benefit others, so perhaps a forum though this would require more active participation on their part than direct contact.
 * Information conversations through linkedin or facebook.
 * On a social level platform with an interest of community involvement opportunities.
 * On a professional level for networking and other related interest.
 * Professionally- I'd also like to connect with MALT alumni on a professional basis.


 * What to do Together:**
 * Retreats or something where we can all get together, be inspired and jump-start our design brains again.
 * Events (events about technology was also mentioned)
 * Keeping in touch with current cadre
 * Sharing of professional resources
 * Attend mid-year conference face to face with current MALT students (Need to know the information ahead of time)
 * Perhaps go observe MALT alumni teaching or to chat and get ideas or maybe use them as a connection to get a job (or get involved in a cool project). Think the possibilities here are endless. "
 * I'd like to try to do ongoing projects together-for the good of the world (or educations or...).
 * On an international level for grassroots opportunities to help in outreach and global education for the poor and disenfranchised communities.
 * It would be cool to have groups sort of based on your career type so no matter what cadre you were in, you can share what you are doing and/or reach out for help or ideas.
 * Space for groups to showcase work (i.e Workshops, Conferences, Etc)
 * Future career information
 * having a community of others interested in using technology to make learning better would be great!
 * "I think it would have been cool to do a video chat with a MALT alumni before starting the program or even after cadre camp. (Perhaps before applying or even after I applied to learn more about it.)


 * Features of this Group Connection should be/have/include:**


 * A Single Point (//I assume this means a single point of accessing the alumni information—or just one platform//)
 * Friendly interaction
 * Map of where people are located so I could connect with those whom are local.
 * It would be great if I knew that I could always depend on the MALT community for support in my training and teaching pursuits


 * Mentoring** //(only Andrea made this comment)//


 * Support for the current college work
 * A mentor throughout the program would be cool--just someone who would check in on me once in a while or someone I could use as a sounding board. After I graduate, I'd love to work as a mentor to a current MALT student.
