| Seminar Full Desc | Join us for a practical, educator-friendly workshop focused on three essential Microsoft tools: Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. Throughout this session, participants will explore how these tools can support classroom instruction, student creation, organization, assessment, and daily teacher workflow. Educators will see classroom-ready examples, participate in hands-on modeling, and practice creating materials they can use right away with students or in their professional role.
This workshop will also connect the use of Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel to the NYS Portrait of a Graduate by showing how digital tools can help students build important skills such as communication, critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and real-world problem solving. Participants will leave with practical ideas, sample activities, and a stronger understanding of how these familiar tools can be used in meaningful ways across grade levels and content areas. |
