Excel introduction; Podcast

Remember that your podcast is due this Friday!  In order to access the website that you use to create your podcast, go to Vocaroo.  The instructions on how to create a podcast are located on the blogpost from Tuesday, April 24th.

Today we will begin learning how to use Excel.  As I will talk about in class, I think Excel is one of the most dynamic software programs that an individual can use.  There are so many things that you can do with Excel that makes it a fantastic program to use - unfortunately we are only going to be scratching the surface of it's capabilities with what we cover in the next 2 weeks.

In Excel we will try to cover the following today:  formatting cells (font style, font size, bold, italics, etc.), adding a border around cells, changing the column width, changing the row height, merge and center information across a series of cells, wrapping text on 2 lines, inserting a function (i.e. adding a column), showing formulas (CTRL + ~), and the printing process (this is very different from printing in Word).

Oh, and by the way, there is no Vocab list this week.  Our final vocab list will be next week.  That means that if you are defining words for list #10 there is no reason that shouldn't be done by next Monday.  You've got the entire week to get that completed - leaders should contact their group members today to let them know what words they are to define!
