Web Savvy - face-to-face professional training opportunities in Ontario

Terms like Facebook, Twitter, wikis, podcasts and blogs are a recent addition to mainstream vocabulary and although the variety of new Web 2.0 tools and resources can be overwhelming, they can have a great impact on adult educators’ professional and personal lives.

To help adult educators gain confidence and skills in using the internet and adapting new technology tools into their teaching practice, we offer free, on-demand, face-to-face Web Savvy workshops across Ontario.

The customized workshops are supported by this Opening Doors training site and offer practical hands-on training, peer-to-peer support opportunities, and examples of how Web 2.0 tools are used by other organizations in the field.
