bct-l: Regional Technology Training

["Patti Abraham" <psa1@ra.msstate.edu>]

This message has been posted to the Business and Computer Technology Teachers Discussion List.
Would any of you like to do some technology training in your lab for
vocational and technical education teachers (including Tech Prep) in the
state?

I would like to set up some regional sites so that teachers do not have to
travel far for training.  I have tentatively thought about 2 weeks (ten
separate days) with each topic being on a different day.  For example, if I
know how to do word processing, but want to learn more about spreadsheets, I
might just attend the session on the day that is covered.  I will work with
MDE to get ceu credit.  The tentative topics might be:

Day 1	Introduction to the Computer
	Working with the operating system--Windows

Day 2	Getting and using an email account
	Joining and using educational listservs

Day 3	Using the WWW for research and to teach
	Blackboard

Day 4	Using Microsoft Word to prepare lesson plans, 	reports, papers,
letters to parents, tests, etc.

Day 5	Using Microsoft Excel to average grades and 	keep up with budgets,
fundraising 	recordkeetping, etc.

Day 6	Using Microsoft Acess to develop databases of 	students

Day 7	Creating electronic multimedia presentations 	with Microsoft
PowerPoint

Day 8	Creating Realslideshows
	Using RealPresenter with PowerPoint 	presentations

Day 9	Creating newsletters, letterhead, school 	calendars, web pages with
Microsoft Publisher

Day 10	PC maintenance and troubleshooting

Your lab would need to have Office 2000 and Publisher software and Internet
access.  There may be parts of the list above that you do not know how to
do, we can train you or possibly come do some of this for you.

The purpose of this message is to see how many of you would be interested in
doing some of this training in your labs.  You would be paid of course.
I would also like feedback on the topics of training.  Are there other
things that you think are more important for a teacher?

Please let me hear back from you soon if you are interesed.
