This session will help you leverage the affordances of the online space to plan and host online gatherings that deeply engage participants. Whether you plan to host meetings, lead discussions, or teach small classes, this workshop will focus your goals. We'll do activities that help you prepare with purpose and create an online space where everyone can participate, listen, and learn. In this interactive session, we will also discuss strategies for managing a group online in an equitable, participatory, and dynamic way. No one will ever check their email during your Zoom meeting again!
