[Trainer-talk] FW: FCC to Host Free Event on Making Social Media Accessible for People with Disabilities - July 17

[Jeanine Kay Lineback]

I know as a trainer I get many questions from students and others on how to use certain social media sites and specific features on social media sites. I don’t always have the answers. So, I plan to participate via the webinar.
