teaching outside the "box" workshop prep

Alexandra M. Pickett, the associate director of the SUNY Learning Network, is preparing participants for the NMC Summer 2009 pre-conference workshop by urging them to download and set up several free online tools prior to the event. She emphasizes the importance of having usernames and passwords ready, offers support for troubleshooting, and encourages engagement with her via social media platforms. Additionally, she notes the necessity of having a webcam or microphone for certain activities and requests participants to bring their laptops to the workshop.
