PowerPoint Topic

I decided to go with a topic that I am familiar with and that is the SMARTBoard software known as Notebook. In the past two weeks, five of my colleagues on the 8th grade team have gotten SMARTBoards and it seems that I am the resource person for the team having had one for a year now. The focus of my presentation will be to show these teachers how to set up a basic interactive lesson that uses the essential tools of the Notebook software.

Great Free Public Domain Clipart Site

Hi again,

Thought I'd point out a link that I placed at the right called WP Clipart. It has wonderful clipart that comes up free and in the public domain. There's an icon called "small icons" that brings you to many smaller images that can be used as buttons on your webpages if you use them.

I know that many of the sites that I searched and even some linked in the learning modules do not actually have free clipart and some that have very limited clipart...like black and white images only. For science, I searched and found many picture images available by federal and state organizations...NASA for instance...that are in the public domain. I found my tiger image for my website at one of these sites. Hope this helps.

Hi all,

Please check out my link to the Marshall Media Center. Although KomPozer was a little trying at the start, I found a great tutorial that really helped with manoeuvring the site. Once I learned the idea of the tables and their placement, it quickly fell into place. Although I accounted for the width of the tables using the % of the screen, I didn't translate it to the length of the home page...thus you will see that it is longer than it should be. I also had some difficulty copying and pasting the Internet Use Policy onto that page...it ended up having some visible coding that detracts from the actual document. I plan to get back into my pages and try to correct these problems. Overall, what a great skill to have even beyond the media center applications.

I had a chance to visit most of your websites and that helps with new ideas and techniques for layout and links. Thanks to all.

Also check out the link at right to the KomPozer tutorial by the Wizard. The site is very reader and user friendly as far as the instructions go. This is where I finally figured out how to get to organize the basic format...in my case I used a two column page. You can also download a free feedback form to one of your webpages - check out the table of contents at that site. That is what I used to link my footer, "Email webmaster thooftna@yahoo.com" so that I would receive mail from the users.
