How
May I Help You?
A picture is worth how many words? A great way to
illustrate information in just about any content area is
through the use of graphs. Additionally, our state
tests often include graphs and charts. Graphs
can easily be woven into your lessons using Excel or
additional software such as Graph Club. To learn
more about incorporating graphs into your lessons, just
send me an email, or touch base with me the next time I am
at your school.

may I help YOU?
TECH
TIP
All
the typing you do in your lifetime can add up (just
ask those of us who suffer from repetitive motion
problems). You can stop wasting unnecessary keystrokes
when you want to replace text with new text.
To
replace text in Word (and in just about every other
Windows application, truth be told), all you have to do
is the following:
Word
magically deletes the selected text and replaces it with
your new text.
A
special thanks to
TRT, Kim Overstreet, for this Tech Tip!

Web
Sites of the Week
Kentucky
Core Content Links
http://coekate.murraystate.edu/katelinks/
STAFF:
The Kentucky Academy of Technology Education at Murray State
has wonderful links to help you teach the Core
Content. This has a wealth of information to help you
with units and lesson plans throughout the school year.
TOON
UNIVERSITY
http://www.toonuniversity.com/demos.asp
PRE
K-?: This site has some great animated reinforcement
games for all grade levels and all content areas.
While a membership is required for the majority of the activities,
they have some wonderful FREE activities. One of my
favorites is the money game called "Discovering Coin
Values." Many of the free activities would make a
great learning center!
