*So You've Been Asked to Teach a Class or Course...*

What do you do when you’re asked to teach a genealogy class or course? This webinar will lead you through the steps of designing and delivering genealogy education. It will help you define your target audience and overall purpose, create learning objectives and teaching strategies, and develop instructional materials, including slides, exercises, and handouts. It will also provide tips for delivering and evaluating your class or course.

*Right, Wrong or It Depends: Ethics for the Professional Genealogist*
Thursday, 10 December 2015, 9:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time


The ethical challenges of professional genealogy in the 21st century can be daunting: just where does the line get drawn between what's right and what's wrong? And when so much ends up in the “it depends” category, where does a professional turn for guidance in figuring out what the decision
depends on? This webinar will explore what's white, what's black and where to turn when the decision is all grey in ethical considerations for professional genealogists.

About the Presenter: The Legal Genealogist Judy G. Russell is a genealogist with a law degree who writes and lectures on topics ranging from using court records in family history to understanding DNA testing. On the faculty of IGHR, SLIG, and GRIP, she is a member of the Board of Trustees of the Board for Certification of Genealogists, from which she holds credentials as a Certified Genealogist℠ and Certified Genealogical Lecturer℠.
