Free Online Tech Training
While there has been a lot of argument over whether online learning is more or less expensive than face-to-face training, the issue is a little clearer when the online training comes for free. Hewlett-Packard (or HP, as they are now officially known) has set up a learning center offering a large number of classes, all available at no charge.
The classes cover a range of topics, from basic tech skills (Become a Microsoft Windows XP power user) to broader application (Real estate marketing made easy). These are actual classes with a real instructor, which makes the “free” aspect all the more impressive. While there aren’t any education-specific classes, there are a lot of teachers that would benefit from topics like Scanning basics or Virus protection best practices.
