June will be a busy month for technology training. There are a number of sessions, both face-to-face and online, available to faculty and staff in Agriculture and University Extension.
This month's training will focus on the new Ag Content Management System (Ag CMS), a web-based application for creating, maintaining and managing web-based information. We will also offer "Lunch and Learn" sessions on social media and Google Docs.
Both Ag CMS and Lunch and Learn sessions are available face-to-face and via Wimba web conferencing.
