The class today was very small. We worked on fonts and formatting. We also looked at a few different websites focussed on learning english skills and mouse clicking and navigation. Its a quiet class and we're trying to encourage more students from the afternoon class at the same venue to move into the morning class. Its productive however, since the students tend to get a lot more individual attention and guidance.

Class 4, 4 June, 2009:

We worked on Powerpoint and excel in this class. As a result of the small numbers, the students were able to look into quite a few additional functions in these programs. In powerpoint, they looked at custom animation and insertion of pictures. In Excel, we looked at generating series of numbers as well as using dollar amounts and summing up rows and columns.

Class 5, 11 June, 2009:

The class worked on bullets and numbering. Saira and Anusha went on to create expense sheets in Excel. I think they enjoyed doing this since it was a lot of new things to learn! Finda was in the morning class because she could not make it for the afternoon one.

Internet Browsing was the watchword for this class. it was short but productive. The students worked through activities requiring them to use cityrail, 131500 and jetstar websites. Saira also worked on editing and reformatting her resume. We may take a look at cover letters next week.

Class 7, 2 July 2009:

We had our last class today. This was a fairly small class with just 2 students. Our star student, Poopalaretnam was back and disappointed that it was our last day together. We worked on a previous excercise (bullets and numbering) and also went through the process of sending e-cards. The students enjoyed this.
