We still have a very small response to our survey from CTEP members. We decided to email the survey directly to all members.
As we receive responses, we will analyze what the responders’ needs are and research answers for their needs.
We will begin our meetings with members at their sites in December. We will go first to the earliest responders to the survey.
Ian Sorlie will provide a copy of some handouts used at his site for training people in basic technology.
We discussed the possibility of getting a copy of Macromedia Captivate, or of getting training in Flash, to do some of our work. We may have to write a “proposal” to C-CAN for the money to buy Captivate.

Half of our committee was absent during the allotted committee time. Present: Donathan Williams and Rich Bergeron.
So, what we did was to go over the Core Training Topics List that Kate handed out and did some research on some topics.
Our topics were:
- Project and time management
- Collaboration and partnership building/finding expertise to meet your projects’ needs
- Effective evaluation – how to measure project progress/good documentation skills/reporting skills
- Learning styles
- Initiating new programs/gathering resources for new programs
- How to create and expand CTC programming: assessing community needs in terms of programming/working with staff to improve their work re: technology literacy/helping organizations support technology literacy as part of their mission/vision
Here are some web sites we found that we can use as jumping-off points for these topics:
