Excel for Seniors (the elderly)

by Ann

Nov 1, 2011

Hello, I came against the same problem with Word. Now I am going through the same with Excel. We have only just started but my creative juices are now flowing. Does anyone have any idea on how I can make it more interesting for them? I would really appreciate it.

Cheers!

help fixing - stuck on update

by sara

Nov 12, 2011

I am new to the whole Mac universe ... and I updated my computer - but is taking days and the bar is still only a small fraction of the way across the page. When I click on the small red, yellow, and green circles in the upper left side of the download box, nothing happens. The computer will not turn off either. Is there a way to fix this?

OP Never mind. I let the battery run out and then re-started the computer.

Neal Mac updater reminds you if a restart is needed. It reminds you you are on battery power. if the battery dies during the update your laptop may be hosed that's why it "recommends" you be plugged in. Ignore computer manufacturer recommendations at your peril.

Does anyone have keyboarding lessons that have students practice typing and turn into a picture when they are finished? Way back before computers, we did typing lessons that turned into turkeys or Christmas trees when you pulled the paper from the typewriters. Do they have lessons like that for word processing?

Brittany DeBolt I guess you could make them yourself using Tab and space a bunch of times... SOunds time consuming though!

Patty I do lessons on this for 4th & 5th graders - try searching online for "ascii art". Instead of making them just type and tab/space like we did in the "olden days", I created lessons using Excel so that students don't count the typed characters, they have to find correct cells in which to type the chosen symbol. Email me and I'll be happy to send...See More

Smile sheet for seniors (ages 60-85)

by Anne

Dec 28, 2011

Hello, I teach seniors how to use computers. We have done lot of fun stuff! I teach Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced classes.

Often the Beginners get discouraged a few weeks into the course. I am going to create a sheet where they can check off what they have learned so far so they can SEE that they have made progress.

Does your school use Ipads or online textbooks?

by LM

Feb 3, 2012

We are a small school with limited resources, but are trying to see if we could move toward putting Ipads in the upper grade classrooms.

We wonder how it works in other schools as well as if anyone is using online textbooks.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

LM

Erik S. Hello LM,

When you're investing in iPads, keep in mind that some online textbooks utilize Flash, which doesn't work on iPads. Make sure you choose textbooks that don't need Flash compatibility.

Also, it's important that you have a WiFi network that is sufficient enough to support a school full of students with iPads. If your inter...See More

Applying for a job

by Julie

Apr 19, 2012

Hi, I have a CEAS in K-12 Art and have been looking for a job for a year and a half without success. I live in New Jersey and from what I understand there is not a computers praxis, and in the higher grades they look for a teacher with a business, economic or computer background.

My friend told me of a possible job opening in an elementary...See More

job listing? Is there a job listing that you can use words from? If not, take a look a job descriptions for other schools (if you can find them).
