Meeting Etiquette

• Digital Participation: Click the "Participant Button" on the bottom, and a menu will show up on the right that shows who the participants are, their participant status, and allows you to give digital participation.

• Hover over your name, and you can "rename" to add your pronouns (optional).

• Practice "Raising Hand" and other feedback on Zoom.

• If no "Raising Hand," and you'd like to speak, please say, "This is (name), I have (a question / comment / thing to add)..." and wait for Christine (Meeting Host) to call on you. This way we don't talk over-each other.

• Participants are expected to participate by introducing themselves, and in the small group exercise. This supports our experience of safety in the large group setting. Being on camera is best, but we understand that some people will need to be audio only.

• For personal reflection exercises and reading content out loud, "Raising your Hand" is the only way participants will be called on. That supports our consent-based program.

• If your computer is freezing, suggest turning off your Video to save bandwidth.

• If you have funky internet, I suggest using your cellphone to call in, so that the conversation (words) are heard by cellular, and video is managed by internet.

• If you are in a noisy place, I suggest using your cellphone to call in for the sound (while still using laptop for video) -- it is generally easier to mute you.

• If we can't get your technology to work within 15 minutes, we ask that you graciously wait for the end of the meeting, and we will fill you in on what you've missed.

• If you need something, but can't "raise your hand," or send a chat, please text (name) - (xxx) xxx-xxxx -- we'll ask them to pay attention to their texting.

• Thank you for staying on topic!

Original Creators of the Genderbread Person and Plagiarism:

• Here is a concise explanation of the plagiarism.

• Here is Sam Killermann's posts where he takes the credit, and his rebuttal where he says he took an idea that he "popularized it."

• Here is the Social Justice Wiki's article about how he took the idea and made it through a binary lens, and the limits of the handout.

NOTE: Now that we have a common language, we are now going to put it to practice. Beginning this session, we are more rigorous (kind, clear, consistent) with our corrections as we practice applying our new learning.
