My role in the project is to the facilitate the training sessions, design the overall training, facilitate openers and closings, help prep the curriculum, and deliver modules on digital strategy and social media.

This is a lively community, mostly because of the expertise of people like Maddie, Lindy, and Tony who are skillful community managers. From my experience in doing technology trainings, no matter well you describe levels and content, you always get a range of experience, comfort, and skill. . I love the way NTEN does these sessions.
