New Help... New Ideas!
A few weeks ago two volunteers came to me and asked to help in a lot of the facets of the computer work that goes on behind the scenes for the park. They both were adept at using the computer so the task of showing them how we have been doing this stuff for a long time was begun.
It has been a pleasant teaching experience for me and watching them grasp concepts that were hard won by me is completely gratifying. Not only do they learn easily but they have begun removing a lot of the work load that had built up.
They have been learning how to make the programs on their computers do extraordinary things and having a good time doing it. Our classes run about two hours and follows a loose format dictated by their, "How to?", questions. What I mean is things like how to make Posters. How to go behind the scenes and make our web pages do new things ... Yep, they have been learning the ins and outs of writing the code that makes our web pages work. You can't see what they have done but trust me a lot of the web work I was doing is now in their hands and is working fine.
Things like the birthdays and the calendar were becoming neglected but now they are upto date all the time. New articles appear from time to time with fresh points of view. The website is becoming more flavored with these new additions as is the clubhouse bulletin board and they know how to make tickets now... Trust me the community is benefiting from our behind the scenes gurus.. we are... I am lucky to have them on board.
Who?
Ginger Dale and Barb Dudley.
