Week 2, Day 1

Wow, we covered a lot of material today, i.e., lessons 5, 6, and 7 in the Microsoft Office 2007: Essentials handbook!!

We learned about the new features of MS Word 2007 - including: "the ribbon" (which replaces the the menu bars and toolbars); contextual tabs; live preview; galleries; the office button; the quick access toolbar; the dialog box launcher; the mini toolbar; etc., etc. - and we practiced using many of these features in class.

The homework assignment is to read lessons 6 and 7 and to do the exercises on pages 168-174 and 207-211. But in order to complete the skill builders at home, you need to have Word 2007, and you need the files from lesson 7 (which should be stored in C:/work area/project transition/lesson 7). Fortunately, we have a career class and career lab tomorrow, so we'll have another day to complete the computer homework.

Don't forget to bring a copy of your resume to class tomorrow! Also note that we're expecting a couple of snow storms this week, so Vicky put together a snow list of student's names and phone numbers.

Sorry for the lateness of this post. Completing the homework is more time consuming than I anticipated. . . .
