Class 5 - Advanced Consultant - The Technical aspect of Consultancy

Ultimately, your goal needs to be able to teach a presentation for something like a Ward or Stake Family History Fair.  

Under our new Handbook2, The Temple and Family History Leaders in your wards will start assigning you one night a month or week to work at the Stake Library with your Stake Temple and Family History Consultant so that you can learn the technical aspect of teaching TFH.  

• I need a class on how to print on a large printer (the 7610 and a family fan chart)
• I need to learn how to use Powerpoint.
• I need to learn how to hook up a projector to a computer and cue it to the big screen.
• I need to learn how to print handouts from a PowerPoint.
• I need to learn how to use Excel so I can learn how to use a Tracker or Annual Family History Planner OR be able to create other useful tools myself.
• I need to learn how to print a Powerpoint in Black and White
• I need to create a PDF
• I would like to learn how to create a graphic like a jpg or png.  
• I would like to learn how to create a video.
