Silhouette School Launches First Virtual Classroom: Master the Silhouette Studio Text Tool

You guys!! I'm so excited to announce the release of our latest product: our first ever Virtual Classroom titled "Master the Silhouette Studio Text Tool."

You guys made me do this. Really you did. Here's the thing...I am constantly asked to travel to here, there, and everywhere. It's just not possible - this is a 2.5 (wo)man operation, we have littles, and there's work to be done (a lot of it) on Silhouette School blog and Silhouette U. It's all a whole lot of work that can't be done from the air or a hotel. 

Even when I do travel - which I do multiple times a year (check out where I'll be later this year on the Events page) - it's not always to the places where you are. That ALWAYS leads to questions from people about if my talks/classes/presentations will be streamed live or recorded. Honestly - it's just not possible to do that. BUT Bob and I had this light bulb moment a few weeks back and we think we've found something just as good - if not better!

We're taking retired content - content that's still 100% still relevant but no longer among the presentations I'm teaching - and converting them into virtual classrooms. I'm thrilled to say our first Virtual Classroom: Master the Silhouette Studio Text Tool is now available

If you can't make it to a conference, if you can't travel, if you don't have the time or the resources to travel - I'm making some of my most popular classes - those that are now retired and will never be taught at conferences again - available to you!  The best part is you - you can watch them as much as you want, you can stop, pause and re-start as you please.  Need to go grab your coffee, need me to slow down and repeat what I was teaching, need to take notes on the never-before-provided slide deck, want to skip over a section you're not interested in or have already mastered? Go for it!

So how are the Virtual Classrooms any different than Silhouette U, my Silhouette video courses, and the Ultimate Silhouette Guide to Designing eCourse? Great question!

1.  This virtual classroom "Master the Silhouette Studio Text Tool" is an 85 minute video - taking an in-depth look at how to take full advantage of the Text Tool. 
2. It's a converted presentation so you'll never see me, you'll hear me talking over slides and then switching over to Silhouette Studio for some interactive demos throughout the virtual classroom. 
3. Similar to the Ultimate Silhouette Guide Design eCourse where you have the ebook to follow along with the videos, you have access to all 79 slides so you can print them out, write notes on them, and follow along as we move through.  

At the end of the day, our mission at Silhouette School Inc is to offer teaching resources for every.single.type of learner! Whether you like reading 800+ free Silhouette Studio and CAMEO tutorials on Silhouette School Blog, prefer having in-depth or mini reference Silhouette guides from The Ultimate Silhouette Guide Series at your finger tips, like watching Silhouette video tutorials, or are looking for a full service Silhouette resource and help desk available anytime (hello, Silhouette U!) - we want to make sure you're learning and loving your Silhouette cutting machines!  Adding the Virtual Classrooms is just another way to do that!
