Note from Beth: At this year’s Nonprofit Technology Conference, I was lucky to co-design and facilitate a session on technology training with colleagues John Kenyon, Cindy Leonard and Jeanne Allen. Cindy and Jeanne wrote this great reflection of what we learned and how we facilitated this very interactive session.

Not only does this help me frame and tailor the talk I give to the audience, but facilitates Twitter conversations before. I don’t like giving a keynote where I talk at the audience for 45 minutes.

I also didn't facilitate the whole room discussion around the slides which I usually do because I worried about going over time.
