So excited to have this finalized. I had some issues toward the end though. For instance, I wanted to include a run-through of our event approval form, but just recently my office has decided to go in a different direction with how we collect that information, so it was no longer relevant. The nice thing is that I can easily pop the new system in to this presentation, edit the script, and re-record the screen cast in order to include the new stuff.
Another issue I ran across was not being able to include this on our website under the training resources just yet like I said I was going to do at the beginning. My office is about to undergo some major staffing changes and because of that, we are going to do more work on our website overall. I was asked to hold off on making major updates until that happens.
I learned a lot from doing this. First, I learned that creating a script and running through it multiple times with different people is so important. I tried to run through the module without a script and I failed miserably. I started working on the script about a week ago and ended up making 6 rounds of edits, all involving multiple people's input. This helped me to see the parts that didn't make sense, and also gave me the chance to get some fresh perspective.
I also loved the opportunity to put some of my skills from the AHRD program to practical use with my job. I am looking forward to utilizing this training module for future volunteers.
