Understanding the Reference tab in Word 2007: This is a 1 hour class where we will look at the features on this tab. In particular we will be looking at the footnotes and Citations& Bibliography groups. By the end of class students will have practiced both and be able to apply this to their own work.

Expression Web (part 1):This is a 1 hour session to get students started with the creation of a personal webpage. By the end of this session students will have created 2 pages using page layout tables containing text and two different types of hyperlinks. Please come to class with ideas of what you want on your homepage.

Expression Web (part 2):This is a 1 hour session which builds on the pages created in part 1 of this series. Students will learn how to perform simple edits to the page, insert pictures, construct a navigation using buttons, and will have their personal webpage finished.
