How can I be most successful in this virtual setting?

• Have a pen & paper for taking notes.
• Your computer MUST be a desktop or laptop with a good microphone and webcam. You will not be able to fully participate in class with a smartphone or tablet.
• We will be using Zoom and Miro as our primary tools during the online workshop. 
• We will send you a Miro link a few days before class. If you are not familiar with Zoom or Miro, do not worry!  We will provide you with an overview of both at the beginning of class.
• Miro will work best with Google Chrome. If you don't have it, install Chrome from: www.google.com/chrome
• Install the Zoom application; (using Zoom over a browser is just terrible).
• If possible, multiple monitors is helpful (but not required)
• Please arrange to meet 10 minutes prior to the class start time by logging in to Zoom.
