• Continue revising Employment Documents
• View Monday's Adobe Connect Session. (If you see a white square in the middle of the screen hit the "Pause" button and then the "Play" button to fix it. There is also a bit of an echo when jflitt talks. The echo is a part of the recording and was not present during the live session.) This is an example of the kind of thing we will do in Q&A sessions in the future. Getting personalized attention is a good way to improve your documents. If you are interested in joining in the future you can ask questions via text chat or through a microphone (in the ITaP labs you may have to switch the sound input from "SB Live" to "Sound Max" to use a microphone).

SPECIAL SESSION: Thursday, February 19
