Phoenix Jewish Genealogy Group meeting, Sunday, April 8, 2018

[Emily H Garber emilyhgarber@gmail.com]

X-No-archive: yes
Our next meeting will be this coming Sunday at the Valley of the Sun
Jewish Community Center, 12701 N. Scottsdale Rd, Scottsdale, Arizona.

During the first hour, Emily Garber will deliver a talk called "Learning Our
Craft: Online Opportunities for Improving Our Research Skills." If one
wishes to do quality research, one can never stop learning. Webcasts,
webinars, online courses, blogs, podcasts, FaceBook, YouTube,
discussion groups, wikis, these are a few of the plethora of
opportunities for genealogy enthusiasts to hone their skills online
often on their own and at their own pace. Since there are many
different learning styles, this talk will focus on types of online
learning opportunities (their strengths and weaknesses) and where one
may find them. We'll also discuss creating a personalized learning
plan for not only selecting the best online learning opportunities to
meet our needs and learning styles, but also fitting learning
opportunities into our busy lives.

The second hour of our meeting will be a mentoring session. We hope to
address your questions and provide answers that will help you advance
your research.
