Class Summary (March 13, 2023)

Thank you all who attended the session last night. Your contributions were awesome and I look forward to even more insights from you all. Due to the number of people, and the fact that several people have reached out to share their thoughts via email, I am concerned that not everyone is getting a chance to share their voice during class. To accommodate everyone's voice I have installed a timer in Zoom. I plan to have those who want to share their thoughts raise their digital hand and I will do my best to call on everyone, in order. Once you unmute and start to share your comments you will see a timer with a two minute counter. This is an experiment that I hope to refine throughout the term of the class. As we get in to future sessions, the topics get more complex and thus the two minute time limit may not be enough. I will try to keep an eye on that. I also encourage you to raise your hand again if you have additional comments. Some people are content to simply listen and that is fine also. I will also be limited to two minutes as I have a tendency to get carried away. The things we are learning bring out the passion in people and it is rare to find a place where we can share our frustrations and potential insights and solutions with like minded people. I do not want to stifle anyone's voice but on the flip side, I want to make sure everyone has a voice. See, I am rambling again myself! Enough of this -- until next week! I hope you will also use this forum to share your ideas and resources. There are no limits here, except of course to be respectful and hopeful!
