Primary Source Learning
What is it?
The process of Entertaining and/or inspiring people at the same time as you are teaching them something from a primary source through video conferencing technology. I prefer to use Zoom as it is compatible with any device as well as browser, and is very easy for guest speakers to connect regardless of tech ability.
