Here’s what some of the attendees had to say:
Kate Manfull, St. Louis:
“It’s a lot to learn. But it’s totally worth the effort. You understand how to get from here to there, it helped to bridge that gap for me.”

Bonnie Layton, Bloomington:
“The instructors did a great job describing best practices in general, but what I really liked was how they were able to talk a lot about what really happens with these tools in a newsroom environment, that’s what people really want to know.”

Charlie Scudder, Bloomington:
“I learned a lot about coding, that’s for sure. I came in here knowing hardly anything. Getting pushed through that door helped a lot.”

Michela Tindera, Bloomington:
“It’s nice to know I have the ability to create a basic Web site now. I didn’t think it was that hard to learn, either. I don’t have much experience and I’m not the most computer-friendly, but I got it. I did some Web stuff with Dreamweaver in high school and was surprised to learn it’s not even used in newsrooms. I was happy to learn something I can use.”

Season Schafer, Muncie, Ind.:
“The instructors were really patient and it helped to have time to work with them one-on-one. It was tough – there’s a lot of information – but this is probably the best way to learn it.”

Paige Renka, Alabama:
The best part for me was understanding how easy it is to incorporate widgets like YouTube and Google Maps into my Web pages, I feel like I can do that now. It’s A LOT of information for two days.”

Janet Schneider, Indianapolis:
“It really helps to understand the difference between the print designer’s intentions and the Web designer’s intentions, the difference between making something look a certain way versus guiding someone’s behavior.”

Patty Pitts, Louisville:
“It’s a great experience. As a manager who is still largely focused on print, I’m trying to understand all the tools that are out there and what they have to offer. ”
