I chose an extremely practical page, “Using reviewing Toolbars” (p. 262) and used it with Word, so that it became a quick tutorial. I first saw use of the Reviewing Toolbar the year before last by Heidi, our Global Programs Director, who used it extensively while we were drafting various documents for our maiden Global Investigators Trip, and I have been wanting to learn how it works. Now I know how, and I will try this method for indicating corrections that need to be made, and compare it to my current method. This may well save me time. Yea! Thanks!

Homework Wed night-ideas from 3 schools

The chapter on ideas from Concord Academy, Chapin School, and Noble and Greenough was practical and helpful. It was interesting to compare vision statements and guidelines, as well as Fair and Acceptable Use policies. I noted the user-friendly nature of some of these policies and wonder if we should try to adapt ours into some such format, or at least have a student-friendly version of it. We want our students to read and be familiar with our Fair and Acceptable Use; the more user-friendly we can make it, the more likely students are to read it.
