2008-2009 Docent Meeting

Monday, November 17 at 9:30, I’ll be holding a brief orientation for Blakely Art Docents at the Blakely Library.

This meeting will be about 1/2 hour long, and will cover the following (which looks pretty similar to last year's agenda, which you can see below):

Introductions
Know your material resources: Sakai Art Docent Resource Room, Media at Blakely, OpenOffice slideshows, art supplies
Know your human resources: Your Teachers, Me, Robin Hruska, Kathleen Pool
Other/Questions

I’d like to encourage all docents to come, even if you’ve been there before, as it is a good time to have new docents place a face with a name. No need to RSVP.

I’ll start posting this year’s news and information on the blog again, right here.

Digital Slide Show Tutorial

On Wednesday, 6 February, I will conduct a tutorial on using Powerpoint/Open Office for making a slide show using images from the internet. With this information, you should be able to burn images to a cd and use it on the boxlight projectors in the classrooms or the library at Blakely. As it is early dismissal that day, I'll keep the meeting to under an hour; we will meet in the Blakely Library.

On a related note, I am compiling a collection of cds that people have already assembled of digital slide shows. Please let me know if you have one you'd like to contribute. I can copy it and return your original; we can keep a collection on file at Blakely (I'll work on a location for those).
