Under Major Revision

Notice there are pages or tabs at the top now. After going to the TCEA convention, I have decided to update this site to be user friendly and to include the many great websites that people need to be aware of. I could not decide between a webpage, a wiki, or a blog, but I decide on this format after several of the teachers that went to Austin with us chose to use blogs. Also it was easy since I already had this one created.

Excel Tip

Here is an update for the Excel Tricks and Tips.

This was not included on the handout.

How to get your students at the top of every page of your mastery without copy and pasting the row at the top of each page. This is for printing purposes and this is different than freezing the panes that we did in the inservice.

To Repeat Rows (names of students) for Mastery

View > Page Layout

File > Page Set Up

Sheet tab

Print Files > Rows to Repeat at Top Click on grid at end of box.

Highlight the row of your worksheet where the students' names are. You should see a formula appear in the box with $ signs.

Click OK. Now at the top of each page will be the students' names.
