Sorry for the inconvenience.

Last month, I was happy to have presented my first Webinar for the NER. It was great to have almost 40 members participate. Due to that success, we are adding more webinars to the schedule. All three webinars start at 10:00 am and run to 11:00am with an additional half hour before and after for questions.

Twitter in Hospitals

IM? That is SO 2004!” Are you stuck in the past? Stay ahead of the curve with Twitter! Twitter is a free social networking tool, allowing you to stay connected with people in “real time”. Unlike IM, Twitter allows you to post quick notes and read other users’ updates without the intrusive feel of an IM.

In this workshop, we will learn more about Twitter and how hospitals are using it to disseminate information.

You have probably already done some cloud computing without even knowing it. Do you have a Hotmail or Yahoo! mail account? Do you use Google Docs or Google Calendars? In this webinar, we will learn what Cloud Computing is and have an overview of some of the tools and services available.

If so, you’ve done some cloud computing.
Cloud Computing is basically the use of web-based services, whether it is an email client such as Hotmail, or document storage such as Google Docs or Me.com, instead of relying solely on your computer or server to store your software and files. (more…)
