The sessions will use Zoom’s webinar feature and will not require your mic or camera to be on. Instead, you can sit back and watch, trying out some of the software and strategies as we demonstrate them. Can’t attend the whole session? That’s okay. All registered attendees will receive the workshop recording as well as accompanying notes and resources.
