Anita Evans’s Summary
My dream is to help support the teaching of legal specific software and technology at law schools, starting with the school to be built in downtown Dallas by the Univesity of North Texas by the year 2011. I want to develop technology courses which would properly prepare graduates for using the legal specific technology that is being used in law firms and law departments today. This is not to diminish my role as an in-house technical trainer, but enhance my ability to help on a deeper and larger scale. Learning technology will provide new attorneys with an extra amount of confidence as they begin their professional career.
Anita Evans’s Specialties:
I love helping solve problems using technology, creating documentation and templates. I am good at configuring software applications and understand how to configure based on the needs of the people working on the software. I have published articles on software training and analysis. I often am a guest speaker at career schools and professional organizations on best practices in using technology, including topics such as PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook and my favorite, Word.
