I suspect if someone asked me the value of education when I was a child, I'd have a much different answer than I do now. Anyone over the age of 25 knows it is expensive and in some cases un-affordable. Currently in the genealogy world there are MANY low cost and even free alternatives. The webinar has caught on in recent years and several days a week you can tune in via your computer and watch a free webinar.
Recently at RootsTech, (2-4 February 2012 @ SLC) they broadcast eight webinars over three days on all sorts of information. The Keynote speech was even broadcast.
A great source for learning more about webinars is on the GeneaWebinars website http://blog.geneawebinars.com/p/calendar.html
At the bottom of the calendar you can click on the + Google Calendar to add the webinars to your own Google Calendar. This really makes it easy to keep track of them on my own calendar and even set reminders.
Don't forget to register!
If you have questions about webinars or other technology that is available for low cost or even free, please ask!

Geneabloggers Radio 17 February 2012
One of my favorite things to do on a cold Friday evening is to put my headphones on my laptop and listen to the online broadcast of Geneabloggers Radio. The common theme is blogging, genealogy and technology.
The program is normally hosted by Thomas MacEntee and is a blast to listen to. Some would say it is "Wonderful" <wink>. They even have a chat board to communicate with fellow genealogists.
This week's show is hosted by Dear Myrtle, and you can find more information on her website : Myrt hosts Geneabloggers!
The show is on at 9pm on Friday's. Tune in and give it a listen. You will not be disappointed!
