Geek Training
Introduction to Geeks
With the speed that technology advances, it is hard for organizations to stay abreast of all the changes. In order to understand the potential for new techno-buzzwords like Moodle and Wiki, organizations are hiring "geeks" to inform them of new possibilities using cutting edge technology, and staffing geeks to implement them into existing practices.
The modules that follow will train managers to identify geeks. At the completion of the lesson, you will be able to spot a geek as well as list compelling reasons for adding a geek to your team.
Geeks no longer suffer from unfair stereotypes of glasses held together with tape, and awkward laughs. Given the publishing power of modern computers, geeks are more than the butt of jokes. They are web designers, video editors, online community builders, game developers, and graphic artists. Geeks now live among us, they've been able to blend successfully into groups, yet their value to an organization has increased the demand for geeks. How does one spot a geek?
