I finally got my wiki unblocked. For some reason, Fortinet, our filtering service, decided that our wikispaces were SPAM. After some whining and foot stomping, the spaces are no longer blocked.

This week we are wrapping up the first lesson of Access. I know it is confusing until you get into it. Please take some time this week to do some File Maintenance as some of your folders are a mess. **I will be taking grades on those folders (All of My Documents) on May 9th.**

4/21/08
I hope you are all understanding Access. I know the school year is winding down; however, we do need to keep focused and finish the curriculum that is expected for us. Please stay on task!

Since there are so many of you gone on Monday and Tuesday we will be working with a project including Web 2.0 tools. On Wednesday we will do our final project in Excel. Thursday I will give you an overview of Access, our database program.

4/7/08
This week we will be finishing Excel. Please take the time to study and be prepared for the test on Friday.

3/31/08
Please continue to work on the projects that I assigned on Friday. Be nice to the sub. Online project 1 is now available on WebCt for you to do if you finish the project. You have plenty to do. Don't forget the wiki discussion. See you Wednesday!

Only 8 weeks left. We are on the final chapter of Excel and then we will move on to another Office product called Access. We will also continue to explore more Web 2.0 tools and try them out. Have a great week.

3/17/08
This week we will be learning more of the in's and out's of Excel. You also will create your own Voki that will explain one of the objectives that you have learned. Have fun with this; it's a short week!

3/10/08
The 4th quarter has begun! This week we will finish up Excel Project 2. Remember to take the practice tests as the REAL test is on Friday. Don't forget the wiki discussion!

3/3/08
This week I want you to pay special attention to all directions. When I am explaining the project to you, please do not assume that you will remember them. Make little notes to yourself about what is expected of you so you don't forget and lose points.

I noticed that some of you weren't as prepared as you should have been for the test last week. Don't forget that the practice tests are important and the online assignments also help you prepare. PLEASE don't forget to look at the pictures in the book and compare them with your document....if it doesn't look right...it probably isn't. If you see DIMS on your papers--this means "Does It Make Sense?"

I hope everyone had a long and well-deserved vacation. Now, we need to get back to business..right? This week we are finishing up Excel Project 1; with online activities to help you study for the test on Friday. Don't forget about the wiki discussion and the practice test. You can take that as many times as you want. Good luck!

Snow, snow, snow...it's finally looking like winter around here. This week we are digging right into the projects in Excel. Good luck and remember to read all directions. Hint: If it doesn't look right....it probably isn't.

2/4/08
This week we are finishing up on MS Word and starting MS Excel. Please make sure to take your practice test for extra credit and to study for your test. It is important that you understand each chapter before you continue on. Also, make sure that you complete and double-check every assignment that you are assigned as I had to give a few zeros this last week. I really don't like to do that; but, it is your responsibility to get everything turned in.

Wow, here we go. We just finished Project 2 and I'm very happy on how all of you did on the assessment last week. Well, moving along we will be constructing resumes and cover letters from word and the wizards that it has. Good luck!

1/21/08
This week we are going to have our first assessment. As you may already know, all the assessments are on WebCt. They all also have a practice test which you are free to take as many times as you would like. Have a great week and good luck on your test!

This week we are continuing to work on formatting research papers. The one thing I want you to pay attention to is that you are learning a format and that you need to do more than just go through the motions of the exercises. You need to know why you are doing certain steps in certain places so that you can use this information after this class.

Welcome to MS Office wikispace.
This is the space where you can ask me questions, discuss certain aspects, and be anonymous. Just click on "edit this page". I check this page often so after you ask a question, check back, and see if I had answered your question. This way you can ask me a question, and not feel singled out or "dumb". Also, everyone else can read your questions and my answers and hopefully this will help everyone. Have fun with it....Ms. Reimer

Now, click on the discussion link at the right, then click 1st discussion. Read the question and respond to it. This will be graded.
