Firestorm Classes
These classes are based on our official Firestorm release and are conducted in text except when otherwise noted. There's no need to talk, but you may want to be able to hear. We also usually have help available to answer questions in text. This schedule is subject to change.
Note that it is best if you are on Firestorm for the classes.
Locations are indicated in the far right column as follows:
- FS: Firestorm Support region classroom, * Firestorm Classroom
Class times and days change regularly. Classes may be held any day of the week, with start times from 8 am to 7 pm SLT. Nonetheless, if the class times are still inconvenient you may prefer to watch recorded versions of some of these classes on YouTube.
Unscheduled classes may also be held on an impromptu basis. If this happens, a notice will be sent in Firestorm Support English. secondlife:///app/group/3a1be8d4-01f3-bc1a-2703-442f0cc8f2dd/about
