Great work Carol! I've left a few comments on your training page.
Thanks for sharing your experience.

http://wikimediadc.org/wiki/Talk:One_day_training Thanks. I responded.
Since I'm not a teacher or educator, outreach and training are not my main thing.
Just something I'm caught up with for whatever reason (mostly frustration with quality of - or bias of - a whole range of political and economics and feminist and other articles).
Getting retired area educators active would be great. Thinking of places to advertise, Craigslist and Washington City paper and local lists/branches of computer savvy seniors seems like good places.
Who wants to help do a 4 hour newbie training in the Library Lab for whoever we can get through a variety of advertising means, say Saturday Feb 25th?? One person would be good; two better. (Hopefully most trainees will both bring a laptop and have thoroughly reviewed the tutorial before hand. I might have to buy a tablet or something myself!)
We can work on another one day training outline at http://wikimediadc.org/wiki/One_day_training, create a subpage or whatever we need to do.
Thoughts?
