Tech Training Made Simple with Online Videos

Yes, it's true. I haven't blogged in over a year... time to get back on the wagon!

I thought I'd start by sharing a link to the presentation I just got done assisting with. I was thrilled, and a little star-struck, to be asked to participate in an online workshop through TechSoup called Tech Training Made Simple with Online Videos. (Star-struck because Lee LeFever from CommonCraft was speaking, and I've been a fan for a LONG time!)

The bold link above is to the training video archive. I hope if you watch it you find something inspiring and informative! Here is a description of the training:

Wouldn’t it be great if complicated technology concepts were explained in a simple way that’s easy to understand? Imagine how something like this could assist you in training sessions for patrons or staff. Well look no further, Common Craft creates explanatory videos “In Plain English” that cover topics like green, money, society and technology.

In this free webinar, Stephanie Gerding from TechSoup will interview Lee LeFever, from Common Craft to learn more about their videos and how they are created. We will also hear how Mary Beth Faccioli from the Colorado State Library and Carolyn Blatchley from Cumberland County Library System in Pennsylvania are using these videos to support the needs of their community.
