The following tips have been submitted by the FHS
Faculty. Please email the Technology Coordinator,
Michael Bachrodt ,should you wish to contribute
a technology tip. Each
Department is encouraged to create a department
technology tip page for their own subject specific
tips. I would be happy to put a link here to your
departmentpage. Please let me know! This area is
likely to grow very quickly. I will probably create
separate pages for each tip area in the future.
Guidelines
Tips can be of two types.
Managerial
The emphasis is on helping make your day to day
tasks easier and/or more efficient.
Instructional
The focus is on improved teaching and learning
methods or strategies. This type of tip should not
be department specific.
File Usage
Sharing
Files Across the District (Suzanne Bohrnell,
December, 05)
Accessing Student Drives Easily (Karen
Clindaniel, December, 05)
Game Templates
There is a website that contains PowerPoint
game
templates (Jeopardy, Millionaire...). I know that a
Jeopardy one is available on our server, but more
are available online, and you can access them from
home if you didn't put the template, or example, on
disk. They are also easier to use (click on a slide
while formatting it and enter the information it
asks for) and have a bit more "extras" for fun.

Hyperlinks
Make life
Easier....Create Hyperlinks....
(Sabra Gerber, English, April,
06)
Lotus Notes and iNotes
Organize your Email with Folders!
(Nicole LaBeau, English, Oct. 05)
Projector Use
Making Information on the Projection Screen Easier
to Read (Sabra Gerber, December, 05)
Scanners
When using the HP Scanner, a prompt may come up
to ask you if you want to scan another document.
Before responding yes, place the next document in
the scanner, then select yes or OK. The scanner will
automatically scan and place this document in your
file as the next page. Text will flow as if only one
file! (Julie Zinger, Science, Nov. 05)
Word
Microsoft Word has a feature called
AutoSummarize. It can work for you (if you remember
that it is not perfect!) The AutoSummarize feature
can help students who are struggling to find the
main topic in their reading
selections or to organize their writing. To use Word
to help students get the main point of an essay:
Open a Word document (or copy and paste text from
the Internet into a Word document)
go to Tools>AutoSummarize, choose Highlight Key
Points
Word will highlight what it thinks are the
main points of the text. Because Word is not
perfect, students should only use this feature as a
guide. (Karisa LaFleur, Health, HEHS, Nov. 05)
Video Use
There is a great math and science
connections page by ESPN that has videos with sports
figures going through the math and science involved
with the sports: vectors, similar triangles, force,
etc. Very interesting. The video clips can be
viewed/streamed online OR taped from ESPN2. They
usually show them at 4:30 am on Mondays. In addition
to the videos, there are lessons on how to
incorporate the video. (Shannon Denna, Math,
October, 05)
