WISEtraining: Slide Decks and Training Videos
The Customer Services Team provides many training opportunities throughout each school year.
This webpage contains links to slide decks and YouTube video recordings of the most current trainings. Training opportunities can be found on the WISE Events Calendar.
Slide decks: We do our best to provide slides a few days prior to trainings. The slide decks we post will be Microsoft PowerPoint, which will behave differently depending on the internet browser you are using.
- Microsoft Edge: Clicking links for Microsoft PowerPoint slide decks will open MS items as a tab in the browser. It will give the option to download as well. Edge was formerly known as Internet Explorer.
- Anything besides Edge (e.g., Google Chrome, Firefox): Clicking links for Microsoft PowerPoint slide decks will create a file download. Locate the download file in your computer’s default download save location.
Videos: Trainings are always recorded, and those recordings can sometimes take a week to get "YouTubed"; we appreciate your patience while these recordings get processed.
Items on this page organized by annually occurring topics. You can refer to the Year-at-a-Glance section for more details on what topics appear at certain times of the school year.
