MITEC (Marine Industry Training & Education Council)

PC3 Innovation Technology for Trainers

Not that long ago, the marine industry was just starting to explore the universe of the Internet. Now, we all have websites, and many of us have blogs, Facebook pages, and even Twitter accounts. Our new generation of workers expects communication and information to be instant. Tools such as podcasts, webinars, social networking, smart phones, netbooks, iPads, and more may be your key to training new workers in the 21st century. In this half-day workshop, you’ll learn how to employ new technology effectively—and economically—in your training program, whether in a classroom or in the shop.
