Editor's note
=============
With technology displaying an ever-growing influence on training delivery, it's not just IT trainers who need to keep their skills up-to-date. Excel and PowerPoint are just two applications which can prove invaluable to the trainer looking to enhance their presentations or keep track of business accounts, and below we highlight some useful handbooks for those looking to develop these software skills.
Delivering e-learning is often thought of as a huge step away from using PowerPoint in classrooms, but it needn't be a daunting move. On Tuesday, Tim Pickles is running another of his popular sessions designed to help trainers new to using technologies in learning. More details in the community section of this wire.
