" Looking for hands-on training on Tech Tuesday topics? Here is a quick tip to use the archive videos as a hands-on, just-in-time, training tool: Open two browser windows side-by-side (one for the tool you plan to learn (if using an online tool like SharePoint or WordPress) and the other with the Tech Tuesday list of archives.) OR open the desktop application and a browser window with the Tech Tuesday archive list. Click on the link for the Tech Tuesday archive you want to view (make sure your speakers are on or use a headset) Pause the archive to try a task demonstrated and try that task in your the appropriate window. You can then hit the play button when ready to continue. You can also move the scroll bar to either review or skip ahead."
