My topic for the inservice is the new database the school has purchased. This database is Encyclopedia Britannica Online. I want the teachers to know how to use this database because this encourages the kids to use this new resource as well.
This is a fantastic topic! I think parents would like to know about this, too, so they could help their kids at home. Maybe you could have the PowerPoint show be on a continuous loop during conferences or something in the Media Center so they could check it out. Do you know how to take screen shots of the screen so you can have those in your show? Just have whatever image you want to capture on your screen and then hit the button at the top to the right of your keyboard that says "Print Scrn." It won't look like anything happened. Then go into your PowerPoint show to a slide where you want the image to go. Right click and then select "Paste" or you can just type "CTRL" and then "V." Whallah - your screen shot will appear. To crop it or resize it, double click on the image to do that. Have fun!
