Using ReadyTalk Chat to ask questions All lines are muted If you lose your Internet connection, reconnect using the link emailed to you. If you lose your phone connection, re-dial the phone number and re-join. ReadyTalk support: 800-843-9166 Before we get started I want to make sure everyone is comfortable using Readytalk, the webinar platform we are using today. You can chat using the box in the lower left side of your screen. At any time let us know if you have any technical issues such as audio problems or being able to view the slides. You may ask questions for our presenters at any time and we will keep track of them. We will keep all lines muted so that you can get a clear recording to refer to later. You will get that full recording, slides, and any links we share today in a followup email from me by tomorrow. If you lose your connection, you can go back to your registration email to reconnect. If you were registered more than an hour ago, the reminder email has the PowerPoint slide deck attached as a link in the right hand column. Keep in mind a lot of today’s webinar will be a live shared demo so that won’t be in the slides, but will be in the recording to view later. If you are hearing an echo, you may be logged in twice, so you will need to close one of the Readytalk windows. If you have any other technical issues, dial into the 800 number. Your audio will play through your computer’s speakers. Hear an echo? You may be logged in twice and will need to close one instance of ReadyTalk.

You Are Being Recorded… You can find upcoming and past webinars on the TechSoup website: www.techsoup.org/community/events-webinars You can also view recorded webinars and videos on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/TechSoupVideo You will receive an email with this presentation, recording, and links within a few days.
