KET: Kentucky's Story: Civil War
In 1862, the Confederacy invaded Kentucky.
Follow a young boy, his father, and a slave as their home is raided.
Civil War
Witness the conflict between
North and South and the South's eventual secession that led to a rush to arms,
pitting countryman against countryman. This program utilizes exciting
re-enactments, artifacts, and interviews to explore key battles of the Civil
War, life on the Northern and Southern home fronts, and the role of African
Americans in the war. Concludes with the Emancipation Proclamation, the Battle
of Gettysburg, and the fall of the Confederacy.
Where We Live, Work, and Play: Businesses
From farming to factories to
small businesses, each supplies people's needs - from products to services. It's
valuable to introduce the consequences to a particular community that different
businesses have. Planting the seeds early for what children want to be when they
grow up is also important.

AutoFit in PowerPoint
In PowerPoint 2003 if you type more text than will fit in the box, it
will automatically resize the text to be smaller and fit to the box.
When this happens, the AutoFit Options button appears.
If you click on the
button, you can choose to continue the text you are typing on a new
slide.
You can also choose to
split the text into two text columns.
To turn it off
temporarily click the AutoFit Options button and then choose Stop
Fitting Text to This Placeholder.
To turn it off
permanently:
-
Choose Tools
-
AutoCorrect
Options
-
Click the
AutoFormat As You Type tab
-
Then uncheck the
AutoFit title text and body text boxes.

Conditional Formatting in Excel
Thanks to Joy Buckingham, teacher at ACE, for asking this question!
"How do I make a cell
change to a color to flag me that a score is > or < a given number?"
What a great tool to
use when analyzing data in a spreadsheet! Here's how you do it!
-
Open your Excel
Spreadsheet.
-
Select the cell(s)
to which you want to apply this formatting.
-
Choose Format.
-
Select Conditional
Formatting.
-
Click the arrow in
the second drop down box and choose the appropriate condition (greater
than, less than or equal to, etc.)
-
Type in the
desired value in the third box.
-
Click the format
button.
-
Choose the color
you desire.
-
Click OK and then
OK again.
Now your numbers
should be colored if they meet the condition you chose. You could also
make the format bold or italicized to quickly identify the targeted
cell. |
