webinar: twitter & tweetdeck

This was my first time to attend a webinar given by DearMyrtle, and my introduction to Twitter. The webinar covered the basics of both Twitter and TweetDeck. This was not a genealogy-specific presentation, but rather an initial exposure. I do remember seeing a post for a webinar some time ago on Twitter for Genealogists and perhaps I'll try to find it again and see if it can be downloaded. I understand now how Twitter works and how TweetDeck can streamline the hashtags you choose to follow. I will definitely be employing this tool in my genealogy research.

webinar: google forms

How was the webinar?

I've never used Google Forms, and I've never heard Thomas MacEntee present. After this webinar, my head is swimming with possibilities. And isn't that the hallmark of an excellent instructor? Mr. MacEntee moved seamlessly, both visually and verbally, between his presentation slides and live examples. He spoke in a very "down-to-earth" fashion without being condescending. The moderator only presented 1 of my 4 questions, but I think I learned enough to figure out the answers on my own. I'm now a follower and can't wait to hear more! This is the top webinar I've attended from any source.

How can Thomas MacEntee improve?

The slides moved too fast for me to take notes, which I always do during webinars, causing me to put aside my note pad and just watch. In this case, however, I may have learned more from just watching than from taking notes, because Mr. MacEntee used so many valuable, live examples and actions.
