A few days before the first day of class you will receive an invitation from Theresa to join the online Creative Writing and Memoir class in the (free) Zoom application. Theresa will include her phone number and email in case you need to contact her.
Watch this orientation video: https://youtu.be/hIkCmbvAHQQ if you are new to Zoom. You may download and install the Zoom application at any time. We recommend you do this after you enroll in class or at least one day prior to your first online class. Choose the download option that best fits your technology. Unless you will be using an iPad or mobile device, the first option is most likely the one you’ll need.
