> Saturday Technology Training Sessions (STTS)
> 
> The STTS for Spring 2014 will allow beginners and experts to share information, learn about new adaptive technologies, and participate in hands-on and small group trainings.  The classes will be structured in two parts so that the first hour is an opportunity for experts to share information in a one-to-many format and participate in question and answer sessions, and the second hour is reserved for break-out groups, one-on-one training and hands-on practice using the specific technologies.
> 
> Spring 2014 STTS discussions will center on new media and technology classes that are currently being taught in the Digital Commons space at the MLK library, and how to make them accessible.  Some of these courses include internet safety, blogging, podcasting, music production, audiovisual production, computer hardware and computer programming.  The Digital Commons http://www.dclibrary.org/digitalcommons , is the new computer lab and meeting space on the first floor of the MLK library, that houses new technologies like 3D printers and is aimed at encouraging creation and innovation, and includes courses taught by staff that include blogging, music production and computer programming.
> 
> There will be no official presentations at any of these meetings but rather the opportunity for members of the community to share information and experiences.  The classes are open enrollment, with no reservations and with seats filled on a first come first served basis.  Adaptive Services has Adaptive Technology PC Workstations, laptops, iPads and iPod Touch devices.  Expert-level Adaptive Technology users are encouraged to  volunteer to help out at these sessions.  Please contact us to volunteer.

Please feel free to bring your own iOs devices.  We try to fit the format of the meeting to suit the needs of the people who show up, so if you are a beginner we will try to get you one on one hands on training, and if you are intermediate we will try to put you in a group with experts.
> 
> The second Tuesday evening is our informal Professional-level Employment-related meet-up where community members get together to share information and strategies related to the job search.  The Job Club is an opportunity for job seekers to support each other, network, and work towards employment.  Each meeting starts with a group discussion with the opportunity for more experienced members of the community to offer advice.  After group discussion there will be time for individual work in our Adaptive Workstation Lab, with one-on-one help as much as is possible, and facilitated break-out groups.
