Experienced Technology Trainer and Visual Technology Specialist
Greater New York City Area
With a background in psychology and education, I have spent most of my career training educators on the use of various educational technologies to help support learning in the classroom. I have trained thousands of teachers over my career on how to use mind mapping and concept mapping software to support learning in the classroom. Now that I'm teaching full time in higher education I see the need for faculty to become better acquainted with mind mapping software. With all of the demands of teaching, research, committee meetings and advisement it is becoming more important to have at our disposal mind mapping tools to help us be more efficient at what we do and to handle all of the information that we are adrift in.
I am proficient in MindManager Pro 7, Mindjet Connect, JCVGantt Pro, and the PersonalBrain and offer training to educators and business institutions who are looking for training and workshops in how to best use visualization tools to help with the onslaught of the information overload.
Call me about how I can work with you to develop state of the art video tutorials to help train your staff. Using tools like Camtasia Studio 5 and Adobe Captivate can make just in time training a reality for your organization. Think of the benefits that can be derived from your staff having access to these tutorials that can be used 24/7.
