[Trainer-Talk] education question

[Jan Brandt]

Hi Jorge,

I have a B.A. and teaching endorsement in Business Marketing and
Information Technology, but you will probably find a variety of educational
backgrounds in this field.  I think you need a very good foundation in
technology - PC, Mac and mobile - along with mainstream applications and
how they are used with screen readers and magnification programs.  Good
luck to you!
