Protecting Your Children

2013-08-28T23:39:01-04:00

Gone are the ‘good old days’ when the only thing required for protecting your children online was to keep them away from adult site and monitor their Facebook usage.  Now you have to worry about online bullying, sexting, brand new social networks you have never heard of and more.  When a capable child is determined to do something on the internet, it can be almost impossible to stop — especially if they have the help of friends with less engaged parents.  Many parents would just like to have a fighting chance.

While nobody can guarantee to keep your children safe online, GeekCoaches can help you to fight the good fight.  We can identify the latest trendy apps and social networks and help you navigate them.  We can help you review any safety measures you have put in place and identify potential weaknesses.  When it comes to protecting your children, it is good to have as many friends on your side as possible.

Preparing a Presentation

2016-10-13T05:29:49-04:00

Applications like Microsoft PowerPoint and Apple Keynote provide incredible tools for preparing a presentation with visual aids.  Thanks to cheap projectors and now flatscreen televisions, more and more of us are being called on to give presentations.  Even job candidates can be sometimes be expected to use a slide show during an interview. Also because of the popularity of these resources, many of us have experienced ‘Death by Powerpoint’ — presentations with slides that were worse than having nothing.  You may be in the same boat as other presenters you have seen.  You want to give a good presentation — you just don’t know how. This skill gap only makes what can already be daunting — public speaking — even more difficult.

GeekCoaches can help you put together a compelling presentation.  In his other life, our chief geek, William Pitcher, teaches people how to present and pitch.   He can assist you with both the technical aspects of presentation software and the design principles of a good presentation deck.  GeekCoaches can also help you with the latest online presentation tools like Prezi and SlideShare.

Choosing the Best Device

Choosing the best device for your needs can be a challenge. If you stop and think about it, the constant improvements in desktop computers, laptops, tablets and phones is amazing. Every year, we are able to do more and get more bang for our buck in smaller and lighter devices.  However, the incredible pace of change can make it hard to keep up with what the best option is for you when you are in the market for a new device. Plus, as hardware adds more and more capabilities, you have more factors to weigh in your decision making. Your choices just keep increasing with devices such as smart watches and glasses on the way.

GeekCoaches can help you sort through all your device options and make the best choice for you.  We can help ensure you don’t buy something more than you need, or spend more than you must.  If you are thinking of switching platforms like from Blackberry device to an iPhone, we can help you weigh the pros and the cons.  Together, we can put an end to your buyer’s remorse.
