For years cellphones (now called smartphones!) have been the bane of trainers.  But not anymore. With the right tools, trainers can turn smart devices into powerful learning tools.  In this session, Bob will both share - and model for you strategies that he will be using in his pre-conference workshop and other sessions at the Training Conference -- and you'll get to experience how the methods can be used even in a webinar.

Included will be:
1. Using smartphones to engage people before the class even starts -- even weeks in advance!
2. Creating a quick pre-class survey
3. Using smart devices to create action idealists -- and action plans
4. Conducting a powerful Q&A session -- begins during class -- and allows additional answers to be pushed out after class
5. And much more. Bob has 17 strategies in total
