Biweekly is a bit more that I can commit to and I’m not volunteering to teach either. :)
My thoughts were more on the lines of working on projects together and learning together. Each has different strengths etc.
If you want to be taught I would still suggest online courses or instructional classes.
I’m more or less wanting this to be newbie friendly in the sense that the projects are at a level anyone can jump in on. If that means starting off working through instructional text then sure but I don’t really want this to be 1 person at the front of the room while everyone follows along.
I do have lots of resources I’m willing to share as I’m sure a lot of us do.
However if someone of course learned a thing they want to show off I’m not opposed to giving them time for that either. :)
Sound good?
Naomi
