Lesson 8 challenge

I tried to get someone to  get together with me  on Google hangouts from the branches, but I think everyone is too busy. So, I imagine things working like this.

I am on a committee for program planning. The meeting is at Encino and I work at Central.

1. The benefits of having the meeting online rather than in person. Less stress,no driving, no wasting gas or cursing in heavy traffic. People don't have to drive to meet online. It is easier than talking on the telephone and emailing back and forth, though. 
2. Any challenges, inconveniences, or issues you encountered. What if we have problems with the sound? What if there is a delay? 
3.  If you would meet online with this person again. Yes
4.  If you would meet with anyone else online, and who might that be. I might meet with colleagues who live in another city instead of attending a professional conference. 
5. Would a traditional in person meeting have been better? Why

Traditional face to face meetings are always better. It is just easier to iron things out when you can sit across from someone and really see their facial expression. It seems more engaging.

Lesson 5 challenge Learning Express Library

I have an account and use Learning Express Library all the time.
It is great for teaching SAT prep materials as it allows you to create a study plan using e-books, tutorials, and practice tests to get the highest score. It has less detailed material for GED prep but still gives you a lot to work with.
You can see all the e-book resources by clicking on View Featured Resources. From there you can get a list of all e-books. You can use some of these e-books to study for the GED.

So, all in all Learning Express Library is a very useful resource.

Lesson 4 challenge 2

Exercise 3: Part 2

Marketing:
I have used Reference USA and Business Decision to market programs before with little success.
However, several small business entrepreneurs have been delighted by these tools and seemed eager to use them to market their small businesses.

Here is the flyer I created using Canva. I did not find it very user friendly,but I can see that it has its uses once you have created something a few times. You could use it to put up a very professional looking sign at the last minute to announce change of venue. I wish I had known about it when I was designing the Cats need new home flyer for my friend. oh, well. 

Lesson 2: Challenge

Free Money From Nigeria

Ok, this used to happen all the time.
I think the scams have changed. Anyway, I would tell the patron that this is a scam and that I would not put out any personal information in response to an email. I would show them websites such as this one:

I have had patrons refuse to listen to me and keep on emailing and typing.
