Hi!
I have Word 2003, so maybe they are in similar places. You should be able to go to Tools - Options, then click on "Large Icons". Then I just went in and edited the toolbars and took out what I didn't want. You can do that by clicking on the down arrow at the end of each toolbar. Hope this helps!

Also, have you joined elementarytechteachers.ning.com?

Happy New year Stacy!
Let me tell you a bit about me. I am from Argentina, where I have carried out some research that showed a very small percent of secondary school teachers make actual use of the Internet in for their practices. I will be giving a talk next february to share ideas and resources with many colleagues who do not even know about web 2.0. I participate of classroom 2.0 but would like to start my own network so as to show my colleagues here what one can do whith sites like NIng(and also as a personal challenge!) If you could please join me at
http://teach-with-internet.ning.com/

and probably invite some of your colleagues, too. It would be very helful to start making the network grow!
Thanks a lot.
Paula

Hi Stacy,

With your work as a Technology Teacher, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service.
