You could use a table to monitor student progress. SS I use tables to monitor student hygiene, work performance and behaviors in my vocational life skills classroom. I use them for lunch counts daily. RW I will now be able to use tables in my Senior Planning Guide that will give the publication a more professional look. CC I have given tables to students as a way to compare colleges and to keep track of their progress (steps) in the college application process.CC I used a type of daily calander table to help students plan a daily schedule and to block in periods of study time. CC Powerpoint presentations if done well can facilitate learning by helping visual learners retain information and to hold the attention of students with clever, witty or memorable images and creative slides.CC Having the students create and share their own powerpoints with the class benefits everyone. CC I use tables for the routine charting information of daily student activities such as personal hygiene and daily work performance. Some of this information is then transposed to spreadsheets that monitor IEP performance goals. RCW I continue to use tables to monitor student progress and task analyze work experience sites. I also develop spread sheets to be used by the students as distribution lists on the job. BSW

If I had the computer availability I would use desktop to allow students to develop career choices. They could use google images to portray work experiences and jobs of interest. They could develop a short presentation or publish a single sheet of information- words and pictures- to show their peers job interests and choices. RCW

My students have used desk top to complete journal entries, newsletters and fliers. I plan to utilize desk top in our computer lab to allow my students to develop professional transition portfolios. BSW

My students have used desk top to create activities / awards resumes for admissions applications and sports statistics pages for coaches. CC
