Online Training

Microsoft has online tutorials for all levels of users and all their products. Bellingham Schools has a license for staff to use the online training. Each product has several lessons. Each lesson is about an hour or less. They are bits of information that are designed to be easy to digest, and broken up so that you can take lessons in small chunks. The lessons are interactive, self paced, and provide immediate feedback.

If you're interested in exploring the online courses, send an email to Lauri.McBeath@BellinghamSchools.org. You will get the directions and an access code to sign up.

Phoenix

Like the Phoenix this blog is being resurrected. I intend to add monthly (if not weekly) tips on technology in the Bellingham School District and using technology in education. Tips will also reference the "how to's" maintained on the district intranet at https://inside.bellinghamschools.org/Instruction/CompNetSvcs/Pages/default.aspx.

If you'd like to see a specific topic, please email me at Lauri.McBeath@BellinghamSchools.org.
