Publicity

This can be done as early as when the workshop is planned and a date fixed, or just after a lesson plan is ready and teaching materials have been decided on.

Things to do:
1. Write up a description
2. Create a workshop page on this site
3. Create a Facebook event
4. Spread the word (twitter, email, etc)

A good workshop description is essential to helping potential attendees decide whether this is something they’re interested in, setting appropriate expectations for what people will learn, and helping people have a smooth workshop experience. Be sure to document

  • Workshop title
  • Workshop description (what you will learn)
  • Audience (what you will need to know already – skills, tools, etc.)
  • Requirements (materials – what you will have to bring to the workshop; include any preparatory instructions; describe what will be provided)
  • Other workshops of interest (or follow-ups)
  • Date & Time
  • Location/Venue (include directions or a link to google maps, or link to the venue directly)
  • Instructor
  • Cost
