Mac-Centric+Training

Joel Grimes - This course was originally designed to be a 3 day Boot Camp for my faculty during the summer. Pretty basic concept foundations such as computer hardware and software vocabulary. We did a lot of practical coverage of Word, Excel, and Powerpoint. This module will be very useful for teachers wanting to build some basic classroom tools like newsletters, and also introduce some helpful search skills. The 2nd section will be about the web: how to steal the best ideas from others (w/ their encouragement), how to showcase your class activities on the web site, and how to use some of the new equipment we'll be getting in (CSI style microscopes, podcasting microphones).
