Keeping with technology allows the agents to be on the cutting edge of information for themselves as well as the farmers, students, and general citizens that they work with. Electronic mail provides them with one of the fastest methods of communication to date. Microsoft Word provides an avenue of putting word-processed documents together for presentations. Meanwhile, Microsoft PowerPoint is a self-contained slide production. Then, Internet access provides information from all over the world about any subject.
Digital cameras provide digital pictures.
Scanners transform hard copies into usable computer information. With all these resources on hand, AITs and the Help Desk provide training, support, and information to the agents. In other words, Agents working for Virginia Cooperative Extension are provided the technological resources to perform with speed and efficiently.
