Extension educators identify, validate and gain access to information sources, interpret information, and sometimes repackage information to help others understand and apply knowledge. Keeping technology skills updated is essential for transforming information into usable educational materials and to communicate effectively with a broad range of colleagues and clientele. As technologies evolve extension educators need to be up-to-date on new and emerging technologies so that they can offer learning in interactive and appropriate ways. Extension educators should be continuously engaged in new modes of learning such as online, blended, flipped (lectures online with face-to-face activities) and technology enhanced face-to-face experiences, in order to adapt to the changing needs of their audiences.
