TRAINING SESSIONS
We have seen many of you sign up for the openfireacademy.org email service. We hope you have found it to be helpful. But wouldn’t you like to take it further? In addition to an email and chat system, there is a calendar, word processor, spreadsheets, presentations (similar to your PowerPoint,) and much much more! The key with these is that everything is run from the web… no need to store on your computer and they are accessible from any computer with an internet connection or a smart phone with web access. We will be delivering an orientation training on how to use the apps package to get you going on using it to the fullest.

The course is free and registration is simple. There is a link on the main page called “OFA Apps Orientation”. Sign up there and you are ready to go. There are no tuition costs to take the course.

If your department would like to utilize OFA Apps in your department, you are welcome to use the OFA Apps for free. However, some have said they would like a departmental version for more security. If this is something you would like, contact admin@openfireacademy.org and we will get you started.
