Making the transition to Office 2007?
Whether you are new to Microsoft Office or you are making the transition to Office 2007 from an earlier version, we have five short workshops to help you out. With specific workshops looking at Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, the goal is to explore these applications in light of the basic and intermediate features that can help participants in their daily work.
Please note that these are the same workshops that were run from January 2009 – June 2009.
We have prepared a buffet of professional development just for you! These sessions will be of special interest to faculty wanting to add more interaction to their face-to-face and online activities through adding new technologies and/or modifying how PowerPoint is being used in their courses. The main focus is on engaging learners.
For more information about the sessions, you can contact Gail Allan (allang@algonquincollege.com Ext 6013) or Louisa Lambregts (lambrel@algonquincollege.com Ext 6012).
