Session Title: Overcoming Technology Roadblocks in the Workplace

Here's the scenario: You've just learned there are zero funds left this year for professional development and no one in your department wants to train you on that new piece of software. Your supervisor knows less than you do about technologies. In fact, it's taken over a year to convince your supervisor to purchase that software. Where does that leave you? This brief session introduces you to some resources, strategies and techniques to address the common challenges that professionals face when asked to use new(er) technologies in the workplace. Participants will learn the who, what, when, where and how of achieving technological literacy, including garnering support for professional development.
