Our Technology Resource Centre has been busy over the past few months preparing a series of new technology workshops and seminars. These workshops cover a wide variety of technology, from tablets, to Internet safety, to social media. Each workshop is designed to give participants plenty of opportunity for hands-on learning. Some topics are being presented as seminars to allow participants the chance to ask questions and learn about the aspects of new technologies that are the most interesting to them.
