Participate and share: Interactive session 
Recorded Session
The purpose of this session is to provide attendees with strategies for developing their skills as digitally fluent leaders, particularly in organizations committed to inclusion and belonging for all stakeholders. We'll discuss the distinction between being a digitally literate leader and being a digitally fluent leader and why that distinction matters. We'll explore a variety of approaches and technology tools (e.g., Loom, Flip, Airtable, Zoom) that facilitate digital collaboration and ethical practices. At the end of the session, participants will also contribute to a shared collection of resources on digitally fluent leadership on Wakelet.
