READ_ME: The term "Google it" is well understood and now we are going to be saying "Slack it". This is a tiny tutorial to help us be Slack Masters faster. Check Slack often. Check out MW channel eveyday for instructional staff messages. If I post something in this channel you are respobsible to know it. Any other channel is not with that expectation so don't worry only make sure you keep up with our MW channel and my posts please. Use the desktop version not web please.
