From Blind Information Technology Specialists:

BITS (Blind Information Technology Specialists) is an ACB affiliate.
We want to give back to the ACB community by offering a twice-monthly training of technology basics through ACB community calls on zoom.
Look for us teaching you through our Basics With BITS presentations on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month at noon pacific. You will need to get the zoom information from the ACB community internet mailing list. If you aren’t already signed up, send a blank email to
Acb-community-events+subscribe@groups.io
Also, on the first and third Saturdays of each month, at the same time, there’s an iPhone Basics presentation so every Saturday you have a chance to get some beginner-level technology training absolutely free from ACB community.
These trainings are recorded, streamed and podcasted by ACB community, so even if you miss a Saturday, you can always get the podcast later. You can also listen to them on ACB media 5

Thank you for reading.
