Following on from the last two months where we have spoken of the importance of technology skills and how we stay up to date with them, this month we will focus on the other end of that spectrum – the non-technical job. Obviously, there are

Staying Updated on Technology

Last month we looked at Microlearning, which is really a presentation methodology for providing information in a format that encourages us to continuously upgrade our technical skills. This month’s blog addresses a closely related subject – where do we go to find technical updates? Next
