 * Pat - .75 days**

Laurie || B1 || I meet with Laurie to go over how Publisher worked, because we didn't have access to it earlier. She liked one of the newsletter templates that Publisher already had, and she wanted to know how to take the things out she didn't want, and add the things she did want. After choosing the template, I showed her how to delete the different parts of the newsletter that she didn't think fit into what she was trying to do. After deleting a great deal of components, she wanted to add some text boxes, and some images that would go with every newsletter. I showed her how to insert the text boxes, and change the font to what she was looking for, and how to add images from both user files and clip art. Finally, we saved the template we created so she could use it on any of the newletters going forward. ||

 * 9:00 - 10:30 || Haushalter Laurie || Office || Laurie wanted to create a newsletter using Microsoft Publisher, but she didn't know how to create a template. She had to cover for someone in the main office, and we didn't have access to Publisher. We began working on Word, creating columns in the Word document, and I showed her how to insert pictures and tables to make the document more newsletter looking. I also showed her how to change the background color, and change the background template. She liked it, but there were templates already created on Publisher that she liked better, but she didn't know how to completely use Publisher. I told her I would come back to her after she was done covering for the person in the office and we had access to Publisher. ||

 * 12:30 - 1:00 || Melissa Schurbon || B3 || Melissa wanted to create a website that her students and parents would find useful. I told her she should create an Edublog, so we signed her up for the blog. After we changed her password to something she could remember, we changed the design of the blog to something that would benefit her most. Next we deleted all the Edublog stuff that comes with the blog, and started working on the basics of Edublogs. I showed her how to create posts, pages and links, then showed her how to manage the posts, pages and links that we previously created. I finished the appointment by asking her if she felt comfortable with what she learned, and then told her to work on the things we started with. Then I told her that at the next appointment we would get into parent pages, adding media, and other more advanced Edublog stuff. ||
