...Team B University of Phoenix 3157 E. Elwood St. Phoenix, AZ 85034 August 25, 2010 Tyrie Smith University of Phoenix 3157 E. Elwood St. Phoenix, AZ 85034 Good Day, TEAM B WILL CRAFT A MANUAL BASED ON THE LIBRARY SERVICE (SEE ATTACHED) Team B’s choice of creating a manual on the Library did not come without some deliberation. Most of the team’s members had no experience on how to begin the process of creating a manual of any kind. Team B’s reasoning behind choosing the Library is, although it seems like something that wouldn’t be much to cover in a manual, it has much to offer in the way of content and services. Our intentions for selecting the Library are to have enough content to constitute a solid manual, yet be small enough to allow an easy understanding of how to create a manual. Not to say the Library does not have much to offer for a manual. When contemplating between the Library and the Online Learning System (OLS), we believe that the OLS would have more content, which would make it easier to create a hearty manual. After breaking down each of the two candidates, we found that the Library has more to offer than just some databases that hold books and a program that tells its users whether they have plagiarized or not. In the end, our decision is to write the manual over the Library and its many benefits and services to students at University of Phoenix. Thank you for your time, Team B University of Phoenix Library The library consists of...

...might not have access to educational resources throughout the summer months and for low-achieving students who need additional time to master academic content. Because many students loose learning over the summer and some students need more time on task to master content, participation in summer learning programs should mitigate learning loss and could even produce achievement gains on standardized test such as MAP.

...Instructions as Applied to Microsoft® Excel for Teachers Project summary Goal Given access to a personal computer with Internet Explorer, instructor led, web-based lessons, and the Microsoft® Excel program, the learners will be able to create an Excel grade book. The teachers at Roosevelt Elementary School are urged to use technology daily. And while all teachers have access to the Microsoft® Office professional software suite, in addition to a schoolmaster program, staff surveys (January 2004, Technology staff survey and march technology committee meetings) single out Microsoft excel as the program in which they most need training. Using a spreadsheet program to maintain a grade book will allow the learners (teachers at Roosevelt Elementary School) to follow through with their technology goal of learning to use the software programs they have. It is also a potential time saver for the very busy teachers. Most teachers realize that Microsoft® Excel is a powerful Program. Once a teacher learns Microsoft® Excel to create their own grade book, a small first step; they will then be able to utilize other aspects of Excel relating to the grade book. For example, they can customize their grade book by adding comments, charts or graphs or might possible use the charts and graphs feature on their own for other classroom applications. This would provide a visual representation of their students’ classroom performance. Other well-utilized options for using Excel include making...
