Getting Things to Line Up in Word
Tuesday, April 19
11:30-12:30 pm
B123a
Have you ever used the space bar repeatedly to make things line up in Word, but when it prints, it doesn't look as good as it did on the screen? Learn the proper ways to make things line up, and it is easier to do than using the space bar! Topics covered include "Selecting and Setting Tabs," "Setting Indents" including a hanging indent (great for tests or numbered lists), "Setting Up Columns," and "Using Tables." Once you learn to line things up the right way, you won't go back to a machine gun space bar! Facilitated by Bill Holmes.
Please register online for this event.

Few people know that Word can modify pictures! You can change the size, brightness, contrast, and even crop pictures and other images with Word. Microsoft Photo Editor is a basic photo editing program that comes with Office XP and older versions to do many of the same image modifications that the very expensive Photoshop program does. You will probably never look the same at photograph again! Come have fun! Facilitated by Bill Holmes.

Dr. Taylor will conclude by helping us understand the consumer-based realities of higher education and the absolute necessity to shift from teaching to learning centered environments.

Charles Hopkins
UNESCO Chair, York University (Toronto)
In this
morning gathering, faculty, administrators, and staff will focus on global sustainability. Central to our global thinking discussion and hands on
work on our courses and disciplines will be the question: What should our students know, be able to do, and
value when they graduate? As we work to infuse discussion of sustainability into our classes, we should be aware
that no single discipline/group/teacher can do it all; every discipline/group/teacher can contribute something.
For more information on this MCLI
dialogue day, please go to MCLI's Globalization Dialogue Day web page.
For additional information about this day, contact Pam Petty, CGCC History Instructor, at 480.732.7006 or Chris Schnick, CGCC Faculty Development Coordinator, at

Team Formation for Active Learning in Your Classroom

When students are involved in active learning, they construct meaning often through work with their peers. In this form of student-centered learning, students learn through dynamic investigation and reflection. CGCC is committed to using active learning techniques to help students learn.

If you are unfamiliar with or want a refresher on the team building aspect of active learning or if you are feeling like you are not engaging or reaching your students, consider registering and participating in this workshop.

As teachers, we all want to know if students are learning what we are teaching. So how do we do this on a daily basis? Find out in this basic introduction to the initiative of classroom research/assessment and its role in the cycle of instruction. Not only can we find out what students are learning in our classes, but we can also find out how much they are learning and how well they are learning. Imagine being able to discover directly from students how to refocus your teaching to help students learn better. You will enjoy teaching even more than you already do. Come join in this session!
