jest of their presentation.

                                                         PRESENTATIONS
                                                                     
                                                 *Engrade Helps Teachers*
The presenters for tonight was Ms. Woodberry/Ms. McDowell were scheduled to give this presentation but it was only given by one presenter. In htis presentation we were informed that rather than carrying around a gradebook we could set up a web-based site on the computer online, which would allow teachers to provide information to not only be sent to students but it could also be sent out to parents. It allows students/parents to see upcoming homework, assignment scores, class grades, attendance, and private messages.
It was explained to us exactly how we would go about signing up for the Engrade Account. We were informed that this site is very private, secure, easy to use, and what is so good about this is that it is free. It was stated that "Teachers really love Engrade" .

                                                           *I-POD Touch*
This presentation was presented by Ms. Lisa Bond and Ms. Ramona Landry. During their presentation they informed us of all the things that the I-POD Touch offers, which were as follows (a music player, a video recorder and player,internet, a calendar, contacts, voice memo, game center, just to name a few). We were informed that that the applications are basically free. They said if there are any prices they start at 99 cents and does not go over about $9.99.
The presenters showed and talked about some of the assessories that you can get to go to your I-POD Touch. We were informed that if we wanted to purchase an I-POD Touch the prices range from about $200 to about $400+ .
                                                             *Introduction to Excel*
This presentation was presented by Ms. Erica Jones and Ms. Jackie Milsap, and they informed the class of their objectivies concerning their presentation. They defined what a Spread Sheet is, and they defined it as being a program that allows an individual to use data to forecast, manage, present and present different information. I learned that a Spread Sheet can be used by Shools to compile grades and payroll. It can be used in Sports to compile team statistics. I learned that for Personal Use, suchas with checkbooks or household expenses and with Business for payroll and investments.
                                                                  *Back To The Lecture*
Dr. Kang discussed our Technology Proposal. He told us the purpose of the Proposal is to request support for our project and our organization. He addressed the tips we would use for success that we would use. And he addressed the Proposal Request. Dr, Kang basically addressed how we would do the Proposal, and he gave a website we could use. And he stated that on November 9th we would meet to write our Proposal Writing as a group. My group members and I would like to take this time to say, "THANK-YOU" Dr. Kang for your kindness.
