Does any one know where I can find an on-line IT Workshop I've been looking online since this morning and can't find it.

lordmonar · July 18, 2011, 05:51:57 PM

For CAP?

Maj Alfred · July 18, 2011, 05:57:20 PM

yup

JeffDG · July 18, 2011, 05:59:39 PM

Never heard of such an event...

I need to Attend a wing or region IT Activity, an on-line IT Workshop, or a National Board IT Seminar. and I cant find any of these anywhere.

Nor will you, probably.
You could always host one at your next conference

That would meet your requirement for yourself,
and possibly for some other people having the same problem.

hmm that would be cool. Would you by any chance have any idea what needs to be covered? kuz i think thats a GREAT idea

lordmonar · July 18, 2011, 06:33:15 PM

No.....that's one of the cool parts about a new program.

What things would you like to know as a new squadron IT officer?

Pick 3-4 of them break them into 45 minute blocks and then find some instructors.......bam! Instant IT workshop.

As a suggestion...

Squadron Web Site design.
Using Excell and Power point for squardons.
Using Sims for squadrons.
Simple LAN design for squadrons
Social Media for squadrons (i.e. using facebook and yahoo groups)

Hmm... Im going to formulate it and talk to my group commander next commanders call. Thanx a billion

There's nothing in there that says it needs to be an ITO workshop...find a piece of software that you use in your wing, and do a workshop on it for general members.

Absolutely....

There are usually at least 3 IT seminars at the National Boards each year. One is geared towards the CAP Utilities side of eServices, another towards the Restricted Applications side and a third is geared towards tools for commanders. Add on the usual seminars from the ES/Ops side of the house that showcase some IT systems and there are a lot more that can be classified as IT seminars at NB.

I would be interested to see something like BigBlueButton used for an on-line workshop. Rackspace sells VPSs by the hour and it would be interesting to spin one up and see what could be done with it.
