Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 Tutorial by Leslie Fisher

One of the most entertaining and informative technology trainers working today is Leslie Fisher. If you have not seen one of her one-hour sessions at Michigan's MACUL conference, or any other tech conference for that matter, then you really should seek her out. And if you don't get a chance to see her perform, then you can stop by her Web site: http://www.lesliefisher.com/

Leslie is truly one of the most engaging tech people wandering around the planet today, and she really knows her stuff. She is one of those rare people who could be considered an expert in her field. Specializing in training sessions on Adobe and Apple products, she has gained quite a following as a speaker, after appearing in some of the bigger tech conferences in the country. Her dynamic sessions for the past several years on the capabilities of Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional have been a great draw at MACUL. Here is the page where you can download her handout from that session: http://www.lesliefisher.com/handouts/handouts.html

Included in this page is Leslie Fisher's Adobe Acrobat 8 Tutorial and a great new handout on Gadgets (2008), being the self-proclaimed "gadget queen" that she is, as well as tutorials full of screenshots for Adobe's Contribute and Dreamweaver, handouts for older versions of Photoshop Elements, Flash and also FileMaker Pro. But the one on Acrobat 8 Pro is my favorite, with Gadgets 2008 running a close 2nd place (in my opinion). Browse the various tidbits on her site, and you will definitely get a taste of her wonderful sense of humor. For example, there is a link on her site to her Calendar, where you can see (quote) "what conferences I am presenting at, and what trouble I am causing." You can hire her for Web Design, as well as for a guest speaking engagement.

I recommend this site because I have seen her in action, and this is someone who I always recommend seeing in person. So far, no one has been disappointed with what Leslie can do.

Keyboard Shortcuts: It All Depends on Context (A Deeper Dive)

  Keyboard Shortcuts: It All Depends on Context (A Deeper Dive) It's true. I can write a full in-depth article on just about anything technology-related. Even something as seemingly straightforward as keyboard shortcuts. Who knew how complex this topic could be. You might have wondered why a shortcut like Ctrl+D does one thing in one app or extension, while the same shortcut does something completely different in another. Hopefully, I can shed some light on a bit of the keyboard shortcuts confusion. Here are some things to consider: 1. The keyboard shortcut Ctrl+D in Google Slides or PowerPoint, for example. If you're in Google Slides and you select a graphic object, you can press  Ctrl+D  and it will duplicate the object. This should work the same way for everyone. However, if you are not selecting an object in a slide, but are just in Filmstrip mode instead, pressing  Ctrl+D  will duplicate the slide. And, if you are not in Google Slides but on a random website, pressing Ct

Using Doctopus and Goobric to Manage Assessment in Google Classroom: A Step-by-Step Guide

Published in March 2016, this is one of my favorite posts from our Port Huron Schools EdTech Weebly blog .  What is a Doctopus, you ask? And for that matter, what is a Goobric? I'm so glad you asked. I took a lengthy look at both tools and put together this step-by-step guide/article that I hope will help teachers tie together three great Google student assessment and management tools: Google Classroom, Goobric (a Google online rubric) and student assignment submissions (linked through Doctopus) all in one place.  Here is the article:   ift.tt/1QVW54z   http:// fb.me/7DQ2ITOYU

On February 6th, I presented " Tech Tools to Organize Your Life " for the Computer Operators of Marysville (C.O.M.P.) in downtown Port Huron.  It had been a while since I'd seen this group.  The last time I presented for them, I was doing Tips & Tricks for Windows 7 .   Their web site is www.bwcomp.org if you want to check out this computer user group, now celebrating its 30th year in existence. This is an embedded Microsoft Office presentation, powered by Office Web Apps .
