- Schedule for YouTube videos, which order?
    - There is a playlist.
- Workshop, lessons learned
    - **Zoom** - *to be, or not to be*
        - Keep all questions on Slack instead
        - 3 different Zoom links would probably be much better approach
        - Breakout rooms, only host can move people to them, which makes them useless
    - **Discord**
        - Invite: https://discord.gg/a7u4Ja3
        - Use of **Discord** for workshops?
        - No breakout rooms administration needed
        - Video + screen sharing, for everyone
        - No limits on number of participants
        - Super easy just to jump in between sessions, for both students and teachers. One click!
        - Free.
        - One tool to much? *Or not, it's replacing Zoom so it's actually the same ..*
        - Disadvantage: Yet another login ... :(
        - **You can always send a message on Discord - even on non workshop hours**
