Technology seems to change faster than most of us can keep up with it.
Social media, instant messaging, and most Apps make up just some of the challenges
that face us in this ever-changing world of technology. Software and hardware
providers often assume that we are all computer savvy, so detailed and
understandable instruction manuals are virtually nonexistent. Chet Davis, “The Technology
Tutor”, to the rescue.
Chet Davis developed a passion for teaching while attending college. He
became the General Manager of his campus radio station and soon found himself
teaching others the tricks of the broadcasting trade. This led to a short
professional stint in broadcasting, soon to be followed by entering the field
of Media Technology at a local school. Here he developed a two-year technology curriculum
that was approved by the California State Department of Education. He spent the
next seventeen years teaching before being approached by MarcoSystem US where
he became an instructor teaching computerized editing technology to media
specialists nationwide and later becoming its Vice President. He’s presented at
conferences and taught workshops in 49 states, 3 provinces, and in Europe. Chet
testified before a congressional sub-committee about technology. His latest
passion is helping folks become more secure in using today’s tech tools, so Chet
now specializes in offering various on-line classes via the Internet for people
like us.
What’s nice about this type of training is that classes are geared to
specific topics. You can attend a live session, or an archived one, or even
order a DVD and it’s all accessible worldwide. This conveniently fits our fast
paced lifestyles allowing for quick content reviews that permit you to participate
at your own pace. Didn’t understand something the first time, just go back and
view the lesson again. Support for those in the program will be primarily thru
a Facebook Page and direct comments in the online program. Email will also be
an option for those in the Tech Support
Club. Again, a great resource of information is just a click away!
Chet has recently incorporated his many classes geared for the “novice
to the expert”, into what he calls his, “Tech
Success Club”. This club offers a series of monthly resources with a
featured topic that will have 3-5 short video lessons and a collection of other
short video tips. Subjects include More Successful Computer Use, iPhone Apps ~
Tip & Tricks, Tablet/iPad Success, Social Media/Internet/Website Success,
and Technology For Your Home, just to mention a few. His first class, “FACEBOOK CONFIDENCE”,
is geared for anyone on Facebook with emphasis on enhancing the social media
experience while improving his or her safety and security on the site. This
class is available by itself, or as a part of the selection of learning
resources for those who are members of the “TECH SUCCESS CLUB”. As a member you’ll receive engaging lessons
each month and have the opportunity to connect with your tutor Chet and other
members with your questions and tech hurdles. See the website for costs and
registration.
I’ve known Chet for many years and have always valued his expertise and
knowledge. He is a fantastic teacher and a resource for all things in the technology
world. I also highly recommend his new book
soon to be published, “PRACTICING SAFE TECH”,
available in print, eBook (Kindle and iBooks) and audiobook.
