Making a

Girls Write Now Digital Program

Webinar

Thank you so much for volunteering to make a webinar for the Girls Write Now Digital Program! In addition to this powerpoint, you should have received:

• A release form to be signed and returned.• A due date, so we can post this webinar close to the

corresponding workshop.

And if you are assembling the webinar on your own:

• Our logo to add in the corner.• The opening and theme music.

If you are not on GWN staff, you will be credited as a volunteer!

Please include a title for the badge the mentee will receive when they complete this webinar (i.e. Machinima Maniac or Animation Maven)

Thank You!

- Webinars demonstrate the Digital Program’s sense of community. Mentors and Mentees also have the chance to create and share their own webinars.

- Unfortunately, we can not teach mentees everything in Dorkshops. Webinars are not only a great supplementary learning tool, but also a good system for mentees to choose what they spend time learning.

Why Webinars?

- Girls Write Now’s voice is fun, lively, thoughtful, and gutsy. We are a community of smart and passionate women and young women. Although the digital program focuses on fostering digital skills, writing is its core.

- We will focus 99.9% on using free or open source programs, and how to get the most out of them. (for example, how to “hack” iMovie to get Final Cut features)

- Webinars are a jumping off point for mentees to learn new skills on their own.
