Last week I had the pleasure of providing several technology-based training sessions in locations around the country. Each location was new for me and included a variety of unattractive challenges – spotty wifi, lack of sound proofing, firewalls, etc.
I am not a digital native, but instead a Boomer for whom technology causes anxiety, unless I remember the 2 most important words: BACKUP PLAN I carry · my own hotspot in case of firewalls · a portable IPEVO document camera that can show my iPad · Reflector and AirServer – two different software programs that reflect my iPad · screen recordings of various web sites I like to show in case I can’t access the internet · a complete set of spare cords for all my devices · AND plans for how to run the class if all the technology has failed. When I have these backups in place, my anxiety disappears and my classes go well, no matter what happens. What backup plans do you have?
