Excel+2

=Excel 2= This workshop is for those people who have used Excel for a while, but only a few of its functions. Here are some examples of people who would benefit most from this workshop. Each initial represents a real person who came away from the class very happy.

K. works at the Environmental studies center. She uses a report that some one generated for her but knows that there are ways to make it better or more efficient. She wants to know how to copy the data she has in one table into another table and make a report that sums up data for the entire year.

R. works for Baldwin County Public schools. She has not used Excel very much, but she keeps track of a MOUNTAIN of information. She wants to find some ways to collect and organize her data. She wants a way to use her contact list to mail all of her teachers using a form letter.

K. works with BBSST and has 20-30 codes that have to be filled in on every form. She wants a way to automatically fill in the text that goes with the codes. Her forms take a long time to fill in now, and she is looking for ways to be more efficient.

H. is a classroom teacher. She is looking for ways to track proficiencies of her students. She wants to pull the rosters and demographic information from STI to create a list where she can keep track of her students scores. She wants Excel to highlight scores that are in a certain range and keep a current count of students that are proficient. She wants to be able to communicate those results to her principal in their data meetings.

R. manages several hundred students from several schools for a large project. He wants to be able to sort the list of students to group the students either by committee or by school and generate reports based on that sorted list.

R. is a home economics teacher that wants to make a table for students to show them their weekly responsibilities. She wants to use her roster from STI so she can use the same form every semester. She is good with computers and already makes Powerpoint presentations for her class.

If you took the first Excel course and stayed behind most of the time, your best course of action is to practice what you learned in the first course for a while. Find ways to use Excel at least weekly. When you are confident with what you know, come back and do the beginner course again. If you notice that you are doing things as quickly or quicker than others in the room, then you should take the second class.
 * Who should NOT sign up for this course:**

If you have a hard time using the mouse to cut, copy and paste, this may not be the session for you. I am very sympathetic to all sorts of issues. I am very patient and will help, but it will slow down the rest of the class. If you have some physical ailment from blurred/bad vision that prevents you from seeing the computer screen to some muscular issue that keeps you from clicking on very specific points on the screen you may get very frustrated with the course.
