“There’s an App for That!”
With so many options and choices for smart phone apps and other technology, many people have a hard time sorting through the best apps.  This webinar is designed to educate Extension professionals how to better use technology, specifically smart phone technology, to enhance their productivity.  The webinar will teach tips and tricks to assist with everything from organization and teamwork to data collection and communication, and even touch on interactive media and graphic design. These skills will launch attendees into the next level -- even those who are “technologically resistant.”
