Things Done May 30

1. Spent some time coming up with new business card designs
2. Went to International Children's Festival in St. Albert.
3. Contacted Alliah and Trudy and Melody for any FACTSnet position specific procedures I might need to add to the Manual
4. Researched on anything that might be good to help replace AnyMeeting with.
5. Still looking into seeing what type of technology might be good for shared communications (something a little more organized than Blogger). I am starting to think that it is not Blogger that is the problem so much as how we use it. I think we are not using it to it's full potential. I need to do more research.

Week to date hours: 24

FACTSnet Technical Coordinator and Executive Assistant

Currently I hold the position of Technical Coordinator for Community Networks. My main duties consist of training other FACTSnet employees how to Blogger, set up email accounts, and help problem solve any other issues that might come up (e.g. being the liaison between NAIT and FACTSnet). I work as part of a team to make sure that any technological problems are solved and new technologies implemented.

The main goal of my position is to demonstrate the importance of technology in creating communities. By helping spread understanding on how important the role technology plays in creating communities, we can create an important network of resources to support families, teachers, students, etc.

One of the ways I am doing this is to create standardized training manuals and procedures for everyone at FACTSnet to use. I am also working with the Centralta Tourism Society to help them digitally archive some of their history books. I will also be visiting the International Children’s Festival in St. Albert to promote FACTSnet and the networking resources and opportunities we provide.

Another position I currently hold with FACTSnet is the one of Executive Director. In this position, I am responsible for helping edit blogger posts, and coordinating the different groups that are all working for FACTSnet. I coordinate meetings and help with resolving issues that any FACTSnet team member may encounter. In short, my job is to see what needs to be done and make sure that the appropriate people do complete that task.
