New Record Book Training Videos

The Record Book process for 2012 has changed. Over the last 30-60 days, there have been training opportunities for agents on the new Online Record Book System (www.4hreports.com). In an effort to support this exciting change, an 11-part series of videos have been posted to the D12 4-H website. You can share these with your 4-H families to give them the opportunity to get an early start on the 2012 4-H Record Books.

This series was developed from a CENTRA training provided to agents of the changes to the Record Book program and an online tour of the system. Special recognition is extended to Jodi McManus and Derrick Bruton (Extension 4-H Program Specialists) for conducting the CENTRAs used for this series and their leadership in the new Record Book system. The videos have been arranged in a “playlist” on the D12 4-H website. To browse through the list, click on the icon in the player control to display the entire series (see red arrow below) in order to select the video of choice.

It is also important to note that there are also some training videos on the www.4hreports.com website.

There will also be a record book training as part of the Volunteer Workshop scheduled for January 10^th in Freer. However, volunteers would benefit greatly from reviewing this information prior to that training. This will allow us to dig deeper into the new system and provide a much richer experience for volunteers in January. Please share as appropriate.
