the 2 most important words for a tech-training

3/3/2015

0 Comments

 
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?
