W. Luoma || 107 || The group of 3rd grade teachers wanted to learn more about Edublogs, to add on from earlier meetings. Last time we worked on posts and links, and this time we were talking about pages and adding media. Edublogs was not working, so I tried to show them on Wordpress, but they were getting confused by the format change.To try to help them, I walked them through how to create a pages, which is much like creating a post, which we worked on earlier. I also explanied to them how to paste things from Word into a post or a page. Next time we are going to work on adding media to their posts and pages. ||
 * Pat - 1 day**
 * **Time** || **Name** || **Room** || **What do you want help with and what is the educational objective that you are addressing?** ||
 * 9:00 - 9:50 || sherkey || nurse || She wanted to learn more of the Computer Skills Growth Chart. I started by making sure of what level she was at, and found that she needed to start with 2nd grade E-mail and Internet. I showed her how to create bookmarks through the favorites in Internet Explorer. While we were working on that, I also showed her how to access those favorites she created and how to organize them. Next, I showed her how to insert clip art into both Word and Power Point. While we were in Word, I also showed her how to use the thesaurus feature, and how to use the right click to copy, cut, and paste. I finished the session by showing her how to forward, and cc people in here email. Next time we are going to work with Power Point and Excel. ||
 * 9:50 - 10:15 || Angela Guy || Admin. || Angela wanted to learn how to use Excel more effectively. We started by create a set of data, so we could do various equations. I showed her how to use auto-sum for her budgets, and how to create her own equations. After showing her how to create equations, I then showed her how to use chart wizard to create a graph with the data set we created. ||
 * 11:10 - 11:30 || Victoria Merritt || 304 || Victoria was having trouble with Dreamweaver. She couldn't add anything new to her website. She had a lot of pictures, so I thought it was a space issue, but wanted to talk with Pat about it first before telling her what might be the issue. After showing the problem to Pat, she confirmed the spaces issue. So to help Victoria, I spent an hour and a half resizing all the pictures on her site, and then uploading them back onto the site. She is going to get the district to install irfanview, so she can resize the pictures before she tries to place them on the site. ||
 * 11:30 - 11:55 || Megan DeSousa || 401 || Megan wanted to learn how to create equations on Excel, and how to graph data that she collected. To start, we created a data set, that we could use for both equations and graphs. The first equation I showed her was the auto-sum feature. Next, I showed her how to create her own equations for data that she collects. Finally, I showed her how to use chart wizard to create a graph out of the data set we created. ||
 * 12:35 - 1:00 || Karen Lee 12:40 ||  || Karen had a camera that she didn't know how to use, and wanted to take pictures of her student's work. I sat with her, and helped her to figure out how to use the camera. The camera had the ability to take both pictures and video, so I showed her how to do both. Next, I showed her how to delete both pictures and videos from her camera. Finally, I showed her how to connect the camera to the computer, thus allowing her to move the pictures and videos into a folder on her computer. ||
 * 1:00 - 1:20 || Anm Doughten || 505 || Last time I was with Ann, she was in the process of creating a Power Point presentation for her class. The presentation was almost done this time, so she wanted to learn how to use animations to make the presentation better. I showed her how to add animations to various slides, and how to change between different animations. Finally, I showed her how to use her USB drive to take the presentation from her school computer, and add it to her home computer to work on it over the weekend. ||
 * 1:20 - 1:40 || April House || 503 || April wanted to learn how to use equations and create graphs using Excel. We started by creating a data set so we could use it in making equations and graphs. Next, I showed her how to use auto-sum to sum up a row or column of data. Next, I showed her how to create her own equations, including one to find the true average of a students work in the class. Finally, I showed her how to create a graph using the chart wizard. ||
 * 1:45 - 2:35 || Cassie Rogin || 503 || Cassis and a few other teachers wanted to learn how to make equations and graphs on Excel. We started by creating a data set to use in the equations and graphs. I showed them how to use auto-sum to sum up a row or column. Next, I showed them how to create their own equations to use on data they were interested in gathering. Finally, I helped them to create many different kinds of graphs using chart wizard. ||
 * 2:35 - 3:10 || C. Higgins
