This Week at NWIITT

Well there may have been no event last week but that doesn't mean things were quiet at NWIITT, in fact we were busier than ever putting the finishing touches to a fantastic new resource on the NWIITT site. Read on to find out more.

Our next event is online on 18 March 2010 when we take a look at visualizing data. If that sounds like something you think you don't need then think again! Whether you are creating slides in PowerPoint, charts in Excel or business diagrams in Word you are visualizing data. Our event will show you how to do that faster and more effectively.

Our tips for trainers this week looks at several blogs that provide support and encouragement for those trainers working on a freelance basis or anyone thinking of doing so.

After the recent PowerPoint resources and Excel templates we have this week a link to a collection of FREE Word templates.

News from NWIITT

Guide to Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro

The project we were hard at work with last week was completing our online guide to using Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro.

Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro is the system we use to deliver our online events. It's a simple system for end users while providing all the advanced features a presenter could need to create an engaging experience for the attendees.

Our guide is available now in the NWIITT Online section of the new web site.

More Windows 7 Resources

Hot on the heels of the Resource Pack made available to all attendees at the Windows 7² Virtualization demonstration the event page has now been updated to include video clips of the event and copies of the introductory slides.

These are available at the Windows 7² Virtualization event page.

Tips for Trainers

Freelance or Thinking of Going Freelance?

The freelance life might sound appealing but it's not without it's challenges. One of the best ways to make the most of the freelancing experience is to share in the triumphs and trials of others living the same lifestyle.

What better way to put your technology to work than to investigate the freelancing world via some of the most popular blogs on the topic.

Check out the following blogs for wide ranging advice and support.

Until Next Time

We look forward to welcoming you to the next NWIITT event on 18 March 2010 and hope to see many of you there.
