Editor's Notes
- Before we begin, I’d like to go over how the webinar tools work, particularly for those of you who are new to online trainings. We are using the GoToWebinar platform. As attendees, you have a control panel on the right hand side of your screen, like the one shown on the screen. You can minimize or maximize your control panel by clicking on the orange arrow at the top left of the panel. Most people’s control panel are set to minimize by default, and you will just see the small tool bar instead. Just click on the orange arrow to get your control panel back to size whenever you want it. If you are joining us today by telephone you will need to enter your audio pin. If you are using VOIP, please make sure you have selected Mic & Speakers. You can switch between the two at any point if you want. You will lose audio briefly, but it shouldn’t take more than a minute to make the switch. All callers have been automatically placed on mute, but we also encourage you to mute yourselves (you can select *6 to mute and unmute if you are using a telephone or mute your microphone if you are using VOIP). We really want to hear your questions and feedback throughout the training. You can communicate with us during the training by typing a question at any time into the question log, and we’ll type the answer back to you – we may share any comments or questions in the comments box with all participants if appropriate.
- I would like to note that this training is being recorded. This training is made possible thanks to a TIG grant to Northwest Justice Project in partnership with Pro Bono Net and LSNTAP.
- This perennial favorite will feature 50 tech tips focused on project management, collaboration and communication. We will also include a segment with “homegrown” tools and resources developed by and for the legal aid community, and crowd-source tips from community listservs. As in years past, we would specifically look to engage emerging leaders in the legal aid technology community to present on this panel. We hope you walk away from today’s webinar with some tools and tips to empower you to do the great work you are doing more efficiently! Panelists: Reece Flexner, DC Bar Samantha Kyrkostas, Illinois Legal Aid Online Wilneida Negron, Florida Justice Technology Center Jenny Singleton, Legal Services State Support Moderator: Jillian Theil, Pro Bono Net We also have Brian Rowe and Ket Ng from Northwest Justice Project joining us today.
- -Figure out the problem your trying to solve beforehand -Make sure your project as conceptualized actually solves it. -See if there are related problems your project can solve with minimal extra effort. There are some great business requirements gathering templates online
- -Keep focused on solving the initial problem. -Avoid the temptation to put in every cool feature you can think of all on the first attempt, wasting time and effort
- -Split things up into conceptual chunks. -Make things as reusable as possible to avoid duplicating effort. -Once the core functionality is working, then focus on the extra bits. Project management tools like Confluence, Sharepoint can help with this (or even if you are really organized in Google Docs!)
- -Your first attempt will probably be bad -Other people, especially actual users, will have a completely different outlook from you. -Getting a rough version live and making changes to it is easier than making a finished product in one go. -If you have kept focused on your needs and stayed modular, it will be relatively painless to scrap parts that aren’t working. Tools include: pen and paper! Instapage, Strikingly, Marvel, playing around with Google developer tools , etc.
- If you don’t document your project, it will die when you leave it. Even looking back on your own projects will leave you confused and angry at your past self. Explain your vision for the future as well as what is actually there. Give people the tools they need to make it better. Great tools include Google Sites, Google docs, Word .. Even Notepad!
- I love asking this question when networking/socializing. It’s a great way to get to understand how people think and what tools and processes they might use!
- CoSketch is a multi-user online whiteboard designed to give you the ability to quickly visualize and share your ideas as images. Simple sharing • Anything you paint will show up for all other users in the room in real time. • One click to save a sketch as an image for embedding on forums, blogs, etc. Zero hassle • Runs in all common browsers without plugins or installation. • Free and without registration. Really easy to use to quickly sketch out complicated concepts.
- Create your own comic strip!
- 86,000+ Business Software Reviews. Provides pricing and product information along with side by side by side competitor information and user reviews. Great tool for first blush research on a tool that might be helpful to use.
- MyRadar is a mobile app that displays animated weather radar around your current location, allowing you to quickly see what weather is coming your way. Just start the app, and your location pops up with animated weather. The map has the standard pinch/zoom capability which allows you to smoothly zoom and pan around the United States and see what the weather is like anywhere.
- Airfare deals and money saving tips! They will also send along really great deals.
- Don’t recreate the wheel! Access surveys that have been used by legal aid before!
- Find resources for create plain language legal documents online. It provides access to a library of plain language documents in their plain language library, a tool to analyze reading level of webpages and suggest improvements for readability, and a tool to help define complex legal terms of your website (OpenAdvocate Read Clearly)
- Feed Rinse is an easy to use tool that lets you automatically filter out syndicated content that you aren't interested in. It's like a spam filter for your RSS subscriptions.
- Mix any number of feeds together to display a number of stories in one feed! Feedly is also a great RSS feed reader!
- A nifty little app designed to deliver updates from all of your favourite RSS feeds directly to your inbox, giving you the flexibility to stay updated whilst on the go.
