Ten Tips For Getting The Most From RootsTech 2015 … When You Can't Be There

So you can't make it this week to Salt Lake City for RootsTech 2015?  
Follow my 10 tips for getting the most out of RootsTech online:

Amy's Tip #1:

Review the Conference Schedule http://rootstech.org/schedule

Identify classes that are interesting to you.  You can filter the schedule by Date, Category, Pass Type, Family History Level, and/or Technology Level.

Amy's Tip #2:

Review the Class Syllabus Materials http://rootstech.org/About/syllabus

Select the syllabus of the classes that met your interest in the schedule. The syllabi are sorted by Pass Type. You can download and save any or all of the syllabi.

Amy's Tip #3:

Watch the streamed sessions online.  There are 20 “Can’t Miss” RootsTech Sessions to Help You Grow your Family Tree https://familysearch.org/blog/en/20-rootstech-sessions-grow-family-tree/
