This time is impossible for us, but I've registered and will get a video. I'll let you know if it's worth watching. Still a very clever angle for building a zoom telemed program.

"I hear the term synchronous learning in education a lot to refer to Zoom calls where the teacher is on with a class of students and they're learning live. But synchronous might not be so synchronous after all?"

I believe that for real change to occur, we must confront and challenge all people, policies, systems, etc., that maintain privileges and power for White people."

AND has a 'job posting' arena trying to get people matched up where jobs are available.
