When much of society shut down during the COVID-19 pandemic, we all stopped gathering together in person, and one of the primary ways I made a living, by teaching beekeeping classes and giving beekeeping presentations and workshops, went with it. People pivoted to online gatherings and events, but my unreliable and slow home internet access prevented me from following the crowd into cyber space.
Thankfully the Ilsley’s Digital Media Lab (DML) was available and allowed me to continue giving presentations online without worrying that my screen would freeze up or my Zoom connection would drop out, disconnecting me from the group in the middle of a talk.
