Blog 4 - Training Project Reflection

Training project reflection one, This will be a series of entries reflecting on how out Loman Home training is going, kind of like a status report. I’m part of the The Heritage -- Computer Workshops team and my partner is Amy Schumann and we have been tasked with presenting a workshop on Open Office Writer a program that mimics Microsoft word, all open source and all free. So far things have been moving slowly mostly just sending things to project lead Chris who is compiling the information into the CDS reports that are going to provide an overview of our project. On our end of the project we still have about a month until we need to present so we’ve been taking things slowly throwing ideas around, no real planning has begun yet and most likely won’t for another week. Other than those things have been moving smooth no hitches have come up on our end, I know our first group has planned to present very soon, so good luck to them. Our roles aren’t really defined because we both are doing the same thing to keep it simple, but the plan is to use PowerPoint and screenshots from inside of Open Office to construct step by step instructions on how to use the software efficiently. But like I said earlier we haven’t really begun anything yet so there’s not much to reflect on or report at this time, look for more information in future updates.

  1. The idea of screenshots worked out really well for my group when we did this same training last year. The classes really respond well to visual instruction. Hopefully you will have a good class that is interested in the topic and is eager to learn. The Writer class was pretty popular last year, so I imagine you'll have a full class.
