I would like to put them on my wall with titles underneath to help the students know which program is which. I've tried creating them with Screenhunter, but they look awful.</p>

I had a conversation with a teacher today about how to teach students the 'basic skills' of the Microsoft suite (Word, PPT, Excel, Access). Students at one of the schools where I am working at do not really know how to use these programs and she believes that students need to take a course that teaches them these skills, while I believe that it has to be integrated into the curriculum. She thinks that integration is the final goal but in order to get there we have to train the teachers as well…
I had a conversation with a teacher today about how to teach students the 'basic skills' of the Microsoft suite (Word, PPT, Excel, Access). Students at one of the schools where I am working at do not really know how to use these programs and she believes that students need to take a course that teaches them these skills, while I believe that it has to be integrated into the curriculum. She thinks that integration is the final goal but in order to get there we have to train the teachers as well as educate the students on how to use these programs. How do you go about this problem? What kinds of 'basic skills' are important to teach our students and how can we make time to make them a part of the curriculum?<br/> This is so old school, but ... do schools use Office 2003 or 2007?tag:www.classroom20.com,2009-04-13:649749:Topic:3263902009-04-13T23:16:18.683ZCatherinehttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/Catherine
I know this isn't Web 2.0, but I'm not sure who to ask other than this lovely group... I'm putting together a resource CD/DVD and one of the contributors has recorded an audio PPT presentation in PowerPoint 2007. It can be viewed with the PowerPoint viewer 2007 but not the PowerPoint viewer 2003. I'm concerned that people will not have the PowerPoint 2007 viewer if they are still using Office 2003.<br />
<br />
So my question is: are education institutions using Office 2003 or 2007?

So my question is: are education institutions using Office 2003 or 2007? Are We Ready for a Classroom 2.0 Conference?tag:www.classroom20.com,2007-06-07:649749:Topic:258172007-06-07T23:30:10.106ZSteve Hargadonhttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/SteveHargadon
Our Classroom 2.0 social network has over 1,100 members now. About 100 new sign-ups per week, and lots of good conversations. Not sure what it all means, but it does demonstrate some real interest by some percentage of educators in the use of technology and Web 2.0 tools in the classroom.<br />

Last year I attended the Office 2.0 conference in San Francisco (we set up the press room with our LiveKiosk computers). At the time, I blogged about the absence of an education track, since it seemed to me…

Last year I attended the Office 2.0 conference in San Francisco (we set up the press room with our LiveKiosk computers). At the time, I blogged about the absence of an education track, since it seemed to me that the technology would have great application for education, and a huge number of the creators of Web 2.0 applications were in attendance.<br />
<br />
Well, when the plans for the 2007 Office 2.0 conference were recently announced (September 5-7), I pinged conference organizer Ishmael Ghalini and asked if they had thought about an education track this year. He said, let's do it, and then asked me if I would organize it.<br />
<br />
So, time for some questions.<br />
<br />
The Office 2.0 conference is not inexpensive ($1,495, early bird of $995), and it's held at a pretty posh hotel (St. Regis Hotel, San Francisco, CA). The education track might only have to be one day.<br />
<b><br />
Question 1:</b> Is "Classroom 2.0" ready for a conference, or a track at a conference?<br />
<br />
<b>Question 2:</b> If we are ready, do we want a formal conference like this, or something less formal like an "unconference?" (See our upcoming EduBloggerCon 2007 for an example.)<br />
<br />
<b>Question 3:</b> What should it cost to come to a Classroom 2.0 conference?<br />
<br />
<b>Question 4:</b> If we decided to go with a formal conference, who would you want to hear from? Web 2.0 creators? Teachers? Educational "talking heads?"<br />
<br />
<b>Question 5:</b> How valuable would it be to have the Web 2.0 program creators at a Classroom 2.0 conference or conference track?<br />
<br />
<b>Question 6:</b> Should a "Classroom 2.0" conference or conference track be for administrators, educators, or both?<br />
<br />
<b>Question 7:</b> I have also liked the idea of doing some regional Classroom 2.0 conferences, with lots of teacher-led content. Does that strike anyone as a better model?<br />
<br />
One of the things that was so fun about the Office 2.0 conference last year was hearing from the creators of programs as they each quickly presented what their program can do. And that was nicely balanced by panel discussions about the value of Web 2.0 technologies in the office or enterprise. Seems like whatever we do, we'd want to have a large hands-on component, but the more "philosophical" discussions would really be interesting as well--how can/will education change because of the new collaborative tools of the Web, for example.<br />
<br />
So, feedback please!
