Of course a good question to ask at a medical focussed high school. But this video, while doing a nice job of answering the question, is shown here as a cool VIDEO concept. Of course it helps if you can draw like the creator of the video. In any case it is interesting stuff. Check it out!

Comments to this blog are welcome!

Next Stop Excel

| No Comments



It is possible that you have finished up your work on the Web page and the FCP 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 web, FCP and Powerpoint assignment, so we don't have a regular day that we can do a typical in-class introduction for both classes until Thursday (or maybe even Friday; okay, now it is definitely Friday! (How's that for a run-on sentence, Ms. Koffler??)

Anyway, that leads us to trying something new.

To get us started, we will be using the tutorial located here:
Excel Tutorial
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.

Save the .jpg file you created on your server. Create a folder called FCP. Save the file as firstnamelastinitial.jpg. Mine would be:

Get the file in place ASAP, not later than 11:00am on Monday, December 17th.
