Digital Docent Dispatch from Diane Shages and Caitlin

Well, Docents, the printed and emailed Docent Dispatch is the last as we have known it.

Now that Caitlin has set up this Docent Blog and has trained at least some of us in accessing it (and is willing to teach others), the Docent Board has decided it is time to GO GREEN! Many of us will miss opening our mailboxes to find the Dispatch and holding it in our hands. However, there are some positives to this: information will be more current than has often been the case in the past, and we don’t need to worry about losing track of the paper Dispatch because the contents will always be available on the Blog.

Further, JC will continue to send out the monthly Calendar with other tidbits of useful information. For the Docents who do not have computers, we hope this will keep you in the loop. Also, we will continue to call those Docents who are not on the computer with important information which might not make the Calendar.

The next training session will take place in January. Stay tuned for details.
