Instruction

Framing Our Work In our first session, we learned how to connect. In our second session we learned some basic tools. In our third session we learned the importance of locking items, and the SideBar tools. Now we are going to look at an additional set of tools that incorporate functionality with NoteBook as well as with outside applications.

Teaching What are outside applications? >Excel >Word >PowerPoint >Video Player >Web Browser
