Bring your laptop or tablet, and expect approximately 15 minutes of presentation, 10 minutes of installation support, and 20 minutes of guided practice.

For most of us our teaching has fundamentally changed during the pandemic. Adapting to remote and hybrid teaching has inspired us to focus on what is most important.

This will be an interactive session where participants are also invited to share their own “silver lining” experiences.
