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.
