OTAN Tech Talk – Data + Mail Merge = MAGIC! Coming Up!

Please join us for OTAN's next Tech Talk on Friday, August 9 from 1pm to 2pm PST. This month's Tech Talk is Data + Mail Merge = MAGIC! by Penny Pearson, Distance Learning Projects Coordinator at OTAN.

In this OTAN Tech Talk, we will use Microsoft Word®, mail merge, and built-in templates to demonstrate quick personalized messages, certificates, and email messages to your learners. Beyond communicating with learners, teachers and administrators can create learner folders with critical information visible at a glance. Reward student success with elegant certificates of achievement or other recognition. This demonstration may provide the impetus for agencies to train staff and teachers in mail merge to increase learner communications and feedback. You can sign up for the webinar at the California Adult Education Training Calendar.

You can listen to previous OTAN Tech Talks on our YouTube channel. The recordings are here: OTAN Tech Talks YouTube playlist (And make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel while you're there!)

If you're interested in sharing a tech tool or tip with your colleagues in the field, submit your presentation idea using this OTAN Tech Talk Presentations Google Form. We are always interested in learning about the latest tech tip or idea that can be shared among adult educators.

We look forward to seeing you online on Friday, August 9!
