If any of you on the board want to "audit" a class to see how it works, you're welcome to do so. Let me know you're coming ahead of time please! Best regards, Mojo -------- Forwarded Message -------- | Subject: | [Play] Welcome to the class! | | Date: | Sun, 26 Jul 2020 15:23:29 -0700 | | From: | Morris Jones <mojo(a)bridgemojo.com> | | To: | Play of the Hand <play(a)bridgemojo.com> | This is pretty exciting, there are seventeen of you who've signed up for my Tuesday afternoon "Play of the Hand" class! We're going to meet for the next six Tuesdays at 3:00. I'll start the Zoom session a few minutes early so we can socialize a little. I think you'll be delighted with the tools I have for this class. We're using a system by Shark Bridge built specifically for teaching bridge. We'll get to examine card combinations, watch a hand, and play hands. Everyone can have their own bridge table, or we can play in pairs or foursomes. This is the system I'll be using for the Bridge Basics courses for PCC this fall. It's being used elsewhere to reported success, and this is my first attempt with it. We're all discovering that there a lot of features of this game that are easier to understand in an online format than the traditional cards on the table. Of course there are trade-offs as well, but we're giving up very little. This is also why I've asked many of you to hold off paying for the class. Let's see how things go in this first session. I think it will go well, and I'm excited by the possibilities, but if you have trouble with it for any reason, I'm giving you an opt-out with my blessing. (Those of you who already paid, you know I'm good for it.) We'll all start on Zoom. Here's your invite for the class. The same link will be good for all classes, but of course I'll send it before each one: Morris Jones is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. Topic: Play of the Hand Time: Jul 28, 2020 03:00 PM Pacific Time (US and Canada) Join Zoom Meeting https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81524500688?pwd=ZHAyZVBiZmpscWZhaVpOcmdza293UT09 Meeting ID: 815 2450 0688 Passcode: 095893 As we start the meeting, I will paste a web URL in the chat session. Clicking this link will open your browser, minimize Zoom (hopefully), and take you to your bridge table. For those who are planning to use two screens, I will also send the web URL to this list in an email, and you can open the browser on your second (non-Zoom) machine. Finally, there is an optional book that accompanies this class. It's Play of the Hand in the 21st Century by Grant and Starzec. If you'd like to acquire the book, it's available in both spiral-bound and Kindle formats. Here are Amazon links to the book: - Amazon Kindle format - Amazon spiral-bound I'm nervous but optimistic! I'll see you all Tuesday afternoon!
