How May I Help You?

     Have you been trying to figure out how to use the computer as a learning center in your classroom?  I'd be delighted to help you with ideas for classroom management and activities.  Just send me an email, or touch base with me.  I'd be happy to set up a time to work with you!

Tech Tip
Easier Highlighting

     Have you ever started to highlight a section of text, only to have the cursor run away with your highlighting?  For greater control, try this tip.  Click at the beginning of the text you want to highlight.  Press your shift button and continue to hold it down while you tap on the down arrow button.  You should highlight another row of text with each tap on the down arrow.  Of course, you can click at the bottom of text, press and hold the shift button, and tap on the up arrow as well.
