       I work in school IT. I spend my time giving individual instructions to faculty who don’t attend the workshops. Those are the same faculty who complain students don’t attend class.

       @garyackerman Okay, I hear you, but note that I have attended workshops and found them to be a complete waste of time.  Rarely have they taught me anything that would help me actually solve a problem while using the software.

       @jwtraphagan that’s because you never went to my workshops :)

       @garyackerman @jwtraphagan Logic:::>> you don't know how to do X? Come by and I'll go over the manual with you.<< it's a waste of time, the manual has nothing new and won't solve my problems>> did you read the the "common problems chapter?"

       @lucifargundam @garyackerman I always look over the "manual".  In fact, earlier in life I was a technical writing writing software manuals.  But many of the manuals are garbage.  The problem with many workshops is that they are often poorly organized, deal only with surface-level issues, and assume the participants are all idiots.  Gary, I'm going to show up in one of your workshops sometime.  I suspect they are great.
