My greatness weakness from week one came from the Problem Solving area. As I re-read through the questions under the Problem Solving Area on the Technology Applications Inventory, I realize that some very basic skills escape me. As elementary as they are, the skills that I need to focus on are simple functions of Microsoft Word and Vista, including PowerPoint and Excel. Not surprising, the best information came from Microsoft itself (http://www.microsoft.com/education/o2ktutorial.mspx#ECG). The site is very user friendly and has written directions as well as video tutorials. The site has further helped the user out by making the instructions/tutorials available for the novice beginner, intermediate and advanced learner. This addresses each learners needs, so that if you are like me then you can actually understand and if you are not like me then you will not get bored with the basics. The site is very user-friendly and easily navigated. There are even seminars and conferences that you can go to. There are several relevant links that you can go to further investigate and explore. It provides step by step on basic word processing, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, Access and Publisher. My favorite thing about the web-site is that they have a “Lesson Plans” link which helps teachers incorporate this new technology into the classroom. You can even take a virtual classroom tour. I think this site is fantastic and extremely valuable to the 21st century information age. If this had a down side it would be that it is hard to contact them. Otherwise, it is a great site.
