Late this afternoon I found out that I would be one of the trainers for the new library system we’ll be getting. And it will be going live on December 9th. Of this year. yikes. We have roughly 800 people we have to train by then.

This week I assisted Joyce with the MailMerge training and the Resume Wizard training for staff. We had a pretty good turnout and both classes went really well. These pictures are from the Word Level II class that we did earlier this Spring but it shows what the classroom looks like.

This image has been annotated with “notes” when you view it at Flickr, so as you move a mouse over hotspot areas, pop-up messages will appear, some of them with links that can take you elsewhere.

Combine all the components of your presentation into a single package. If the video is actually included in your PowerPoint presentation and stored on your laptop, that’s one whole source of delay and fumbling eliminated. You simply press the Enter (or other) key on your keyboard and the video plays.
