Old Dog New Tricks
What a great way to conduct class! The format that the staff has selected for the fall and then the winter for NTI is great! This has used the technology side to get some of us dinosaurs into the techno side of things while also keeping it green. The green side to this may have never been thought of but look at the energy that is being saved. Although small it all adds up. The money saved in fuel and the furloughs that we all face has made a big difference. Who said you can’t teach old dogs new tricks.
Scott I agree with you on the Elluminate Live course. I think it is a great way for us to learn new techniques. I have taken several online courses, but honestly have not enjoyed them near as much as I am enjoying this one! I also like being able to come together as a group every couple of weeks. I think we actually learn alot from each other, but also it's great to see everyone!! Hope you are doing well!
ReplyDeleteYes this is a great way that the NTI has set up the classes for the spring,and fall it helps us in our classroom things have just fallen in place for me since I have been in NTI classes.
ReplyDeleteHey, Scott - good to hear that our format works for you, and you have pointed out other useful benefits as well. Thanks also to you for participating and for helping to make our sessions a success!
ReplyDeleteHey Scott,
ReplyDeleteWhen you say "old dog" include me in that group. I am struggling with learning new technology as well. Some nights seem good and some seem terrible, but all in all, it's worth it. Did you see the price of gas this weeK? Ugh.
