creating out-of-the-box thinking for staff & patron training
DESCRIPTION
Most technology training has not changed in 30 years, yet our technology and attention span has. Technology training needs to be scalable, impactful, and easy to implement. With those criteria, what methods could we be using to train staff and patrons? What training methods/ideas should we be exploring? This session will begin with a look backwards at technology training, and then discuss how we might generate ideas around effective training of staff and patrons. The session will end with time engaged in forming new ideas on how teach people about tech tools.TRANSCRIPT

TRAINING IS NOT JUST ABOUT COMPUTERS!
Different training requires different resources or does

OPPOSITES
What is it? You consider the exact opposite of what is normal.
Why? It provides a different perspective and can spark useful ideas.
