Notes de l'éditeur
On behalf of NCDA, I am so pleased to be here.
A little about me
No question that technology has changed our lives, and the lives of our clients.
Let’s take the example of food.
From teaching us how to cook, advising us on the best restaurants, to engineering our food, and fighting poverty through policy by food access programs, technology has clearly infiltrated our lives in ways we never could have imagined.
With respect to service delivery- but it’s no longer whether we will use technology
But wading through the options…
All of these options
leaving us overwhelmed.
Do you feel the stress of the storm?
Calm to chaos by putting down some anchors in this raging sea, upon which we can reflect upon these options.
So let’s start at the beginning. Agree? A little vague, though, right?
That’s very specific, and gives us those anchors upon which we can organize technological tools.
Do you already see some connections between what we do and technologies out there?
Quickly – let’s go down the list and hear some tools you think of immediately for each one.
My work here is done.
Boiling it down – career decision making and job searching

General –what was the experience like? What questions might you ask?

Have them go back and do that.

Why do we need to know these?
NCA monthly
-sample it all, limited ability to explore everything in depth
-it doesn’t need to be glitter –having self-help worksheets online can make a world of difference for some
-you get what you pay for (often)
-context-needs, preferences
Try something new today!
No matter which stage you are in –thanks David! (pre-contemplation, contemplation, prep for action, action, maintenance)
-consider pros/cons of tech, think about how tech might be used; identify some to try, try it out, evaluate
