10:00-11:00 AM: Building our Slack community
Meeting ID: 926 5106 8136 Password: 820518
Slack can be a fun engaging tool for us to build a virtual community and communicate. However, everyone needs to help build this community. Today, we will explore the various functions available in Slack and develop a set of “Slack Rules” to use as we progress through the summer. Our community will need to consider:
- How are the channels going to be organized?
- Team channels?
- Project channels?
- Random stuff channels?
- How should we name the channels?
- Where do we list the Google calendar?
- Where do we list Online Courses?
- What is our community engagement rules?
- What is our community goal for the summer?
- How will we communicate with each other in a respectful way?
- What content is inappropriate? What kind of content is inappropriate?
We will discuss these questions in person and then will create a set of community rules in the Slack channel #communityrules
