Regional Website
The administrative site content will be moved into this new regional site as well, but not by 7/1. Probably later in the summer.
The new Regional Website will replace the old site. But the URL will remain the same – www.matec.info
12
Regional Website
LPSs will still be able to use their own websites. We are using the regional site to tell the story of what we do as a region.
16
Regional Website
Next Year we will use the new regional website to display programs we are putting on and tell the story of how our program is transforming.
17
Technology @ MATEC
The new guidance means that self-directed webinars can now be counted as programs in our data.
18
Technology @ MATEC
We will use our existing Adobe Connect account to create these self directed courses and collect PIF data.
They can then be hosted on the regional website
Central Office’s expectation is that all LPSs learn to use Adobe Connect
19
Technology @ MATECSlack
Designed for distributed teams like our
A real-time chat client we have been using at CO for a few months
Conversations persist so are available to others with the same questions

Technology @ MATEC
So we face new challenges
How do we deal with them?
21
Technology @ MATEC
How do we change the attitude at MATEC from one where we are suspicious of technology to one where we embrace it?
This isn’t unique to us

22
Technology @ MATEC
But we do have to find our own unique solution
I don’t think this has ever been sufficiently and holistically addressed
23
Technology @ MATEC
Technology is not a magic bullet.
Nor is it something that someone else can use for you.
Technology is a tool that we all must learn to wield.
So how do begin the culture shift?
