DFI 2019 Gissy

Thank you for sharing the day with me and letting me join your cohort. Even from one of the drivers' seats there was so much to learn.

The first for me to try was Boomerang - something I have hear lots about and have never managed to find (usually because I thought it was an extension and was looking in play store). But is was one to google and add 'boomerang for gmail'. very helpful as I am one of those who loves to work when everyone is in bed, now I can send emails are a sensible and resonable time so not to disturb others  during there down time. Unlike a few friends of mine who use boomerang to send at the most un-opportune time.

Loom I will getting this added to the class chromes so we can use it and then  attempt to trim and cut what we are filming.
