 * 10:10 - 10:35 || Elaine || Lab or my room || 5-6 || She wanted to know how to add pictures from a Google search to her OLF webpage. We started by doing a Google search for the pictures she wanted. Next we saved the picture to her network folder. After saving, we tried to upload the picture onto her Wordpress webpage, but came to find out that for some reason no teacher can upload pictures onto the webpage. To work around this, we copied the URL from the Google searched picture, and pasted the URL into the upload screen. This allowed us to add the picture to her webpage. Next time we are going to make the pictures into links on her wepage. ||
 * 10:35 - 11:00 || Brad || Lab || 7 || Brad wanted to know websites where he could make crossword puzzles to help some students learn with something fun. We started by Google searching for free online crossword creators. We worked with 3 sites, just in case one didn't have what he wanted. Each seemed very helpful from the short time working with them: [], [], []. ||
 * 11:00 - 11:40 || Janet || lab || 7-8 || Janet and another teacher wanted to go through the growth chart for things that they didn't know. We started right from the beginning, and they knew everything in K and 1st grade. We moved on to 2nd grade; they wanted to learn about bookmarks and about clip art. I showed them how to create bookmarks to sites they wanted to have quick access to and how to get to those bookmarks, thus showing them both the 2nd and 3rd grade level. I tried to explain Diigo to them but they wanted to focus on the Computer Skills Growth Chart, so I told them we would save that for the next visit. Next, I showed them how to add clip art to a Power Point presentation. At the 3rd grade level they wanted to know how to do calculations in Excel, so I showed them how to do simple calculations. Through the course of the simple calculations, they wanted to know how sum up cells, so I showed them how to do that with the simple sum button. Next time we are going to continue the growth chart, and look into Diigo. ||

 * 1:50 - 2:20 || Barb L || Lab || 7-8 || Barb wanted to find sites where she could create worksheets for her math class. The night before I did some research and found two sites that would work best for her. One is pretty simple and the other one is a little more complicated. Having worked on both the night before, I showed her how both worked, and allowed her to decide which one was better for her. The sites are: [], []. ||
