<big>The two images above show (1) the hand-held remote and (2) the USB transmitter which will (MAY) be used for the presentations on Wednesday (5/23). The transmitter goes in the USB port and the remote is used by the presenter to advance slides.  Larger versions are available by clicking on the images.  This device should <em><u><big><strong>NOT</strong></big></u></em> be used unless you have tested it out beforehand!!</big></p><big>

<p>The laptop that will be used and the remote setup will be available for testing starting on Monday afternoon.</p>

</big><p><big>Strong Suggestion: Begin to incorporate speaker notes IN your presentation file! (Each team member should do this).</big></p>]]>

These are recorded and often available for people from the public to attend. After the summit, the recording is archived and shared for those who wish to learn about the project later.<p></p><p>As a culmination to the project, classrooms are invited to schedule virtual presentations within Blackboard. These sessions typically run for about 45 - 50 minutes (per class). They provide an opportunity for students to talk about their work during the project, based on their team and topic. They also provide a virtual learning experience and real-time interaction with an international audience on a professional level. In other words, they flatten the walls of the classroom by inviting the world in and providing a platform for students to present and share their knowledge and to learn valuable digital citizenship lessons.</p><p>Each student shares for 60 - 90 seconds about their topic and the most important thing that they learned on the project in Blackboard while their student summit photograph is showing on the screen.

        <![CDATA[<p><br /><big>It is possible that you have finished up your work on the NetGenEd video AND your NetGenEd Reflection (possible, but doubtful!) and are ready to start on our next topic: Excel, but we are allowing others to finish up work on the NetGenEd video project, so we don't have a regular day that we can do a typical in-class introduction for both classes until <strike>Monday</strike> (or maybe even Tuesday; okay, now it is definitely Tuesday! (How's that for a run-on sentence, Ms. Koffler??)</p>

<p>Anyway, that leads us to trying something new.</p>

<p>To get us started, we will be using the tutorial located here:<br />
<a href="http://www.fgcu.edu/support/office2000/excel/index.html">Excel Tutorial</a><br />
which was created by the Florida Gulf Coast University.  The tutorial is based on Excel 2000, but the basics that it discusses will serve us well for the version we use at school and any different version you may have at home.</p>

<p>Click the link below (if one is showing(<em>depends on browser</em>)) for more details:<br />
</big></p>]]>
        <![CDATA[<p><big>Start the tutorial by clicking the "Begin the Excel Tutorial >>" link on the right side of the header, as indicated below:<br />
<img alt="WheretoStart.png" src="http://www.mcvsd.org/weblog/bmclaughlin/images/WheretoStart.png" width="473" height="186" /></p>

<p>Continue the tutorial by clicking on the links that show up in that spot on each new screen.  Be sure to complete at least the topics marked by red dots, in the graphic below.  The blue dots mark topics that are a little more advanced and may make sense to come back to after we've had a chance to talk about them in class.  The unmarked topics are less important or do not relate to our interests in Excel.  Complete the red dot marked topics by Tuesday before class. <strong><big>As usual: This is a part of our class - even though the material is not being presented in a lecture, we'll expect that you know the basics that are discussed in each section you are asked to review.</big></strong></p>

<p>Please remove your mini-poster from the wall in Room 110 (or the counter or the floor . . .).  Let's have the walls clean by Friday 05/04 at the end of the day.  After that we start LOSING points for those still around!! Thanks.</big></big></p>]]>
