Network access is needed for Internet workshops and specific software may need to be installed for workshops dealing with a particular software package such as HyperStudio or Adobe PhotoShop . The advantage of this format is that participants leave with very specific skills related to the topic or software. This is most effective when all participants enter the workshop with the same set of entry skills. This format is time-consuming. We can work with you to develop successful, hands-on workshops.
Focused topics work best for hands-on workshops.
These sessions are popular as part of a conference or all-day, schoolwide inservice. The main advantage is the ability to have a large group of people participate in an expended, indepth experience with a topic. Lots of handout materials ensure that each participant leaves with useful resources in hand. The advantage of this approach is the volume of content that can be explored. In addition, this format requires no special facility or setup and works well with small or large groups.
