#GuildChat for 07/20/18: Your Favorite Tools and Resources

Our next #GuildChat takes place Friday, July 20th at 11am PT / 2pm ET. Our topic for this week’s chat is your favorite tools and resources.

There are a wide range of tools and resources available to us these days, from things designed specifically for L&D to others that are for a broader audience. All this choice is great, but it’s easy to miss fantastic products and services in the mountain of what’s out there or to have trouble deciding between the variety of options you find.

In this week’s #GuildChat we’ll pool our knowledge and share the tools and resources we find the most helpful in our work. We’ll discuss the options we find work best for us, the ones we think are the great value for what you spend, highlight some hidden gems, and even point out creative ways to do more with what we have now. Come and chat about your most used tools and resources and discover some new ones at the same time!

Prospective questions:

Q1 What tools/resources do you see as hidden gems – great options that you don’t hear people talk about much?
Q2 What are some free or almost free tools you lean on?
Q3 What are some creative ways you’ve MacGyvered the tools/resources you had to do unexpected things?
Q4 What higher cost tools and resources have you found are worth the splurge?
Q5 What tools would you recommend people try out if they need to create media themselves?
Q6 What ways have you leveraged smartphone/tablet apps to help your work?
Q7 What tools do you find most helpful with project management and collaboration?
Q8 What tools help you the most today to keep yourself “sharp”?
