Free Friday: Remind Your Staff To Get Some Free Learnin'
Do your staff know where they can turn to brush up on their spreadsheet and word processing software skills? What about to learn more about that new Web 2.0 stuff that can help them network and learn from each other? Yes, you may have told them before, but they have a lot of other important things on their minds--their clients. So I'd encourage you to remind them. A few resources that you can point out:
- LSNTAP.org. As I've said before, LSNTAP is one of the first places that the legal aid community should turn to for technology training. Rumor has it that their 2009 Training Calendar will be announced shortly, but in the meantime, your staff can watch their recorded trainings.
- TechSoup.org. TechSoup has and is continuing to host free technology trainings for the nonprofit community. Check out a list of their scheduled and archived trainings.
A huge thanks to Mike Monahan, the Director of the State Bar of Georgia Pro Bono Project, for inspiring this post. (And reminding me to remind you to remind your staff.) - K
