+ | * What are the most appropriate platforms for the purpose, content and atmosphere? | ||
+ | * Pick the appropriate platforms and Play With The Medium. (eg. for some things Zoom is the best there is. for others it might not be - be clear what the purpose of each session is, and decide on the platform accordingly). | ||
