Posters with Excel -- Awesome

My colleague and I have discussed the idea of creating learning objects/posters throughout the year. Naturally, the monetary issue came to the fore -- modest-sized posters of 11X17 will run you about 3 or 4 bucks at Staples or Kinkos, and times that by 10 or 20 and... well, it adds up. I didn't think too much about the price, I figured it was an investment in my own sanity if these posters supported learning and gave that quentchen more independence and confidence to the students as they learn.

I didn't reckon with the time. Lack. Of. It. So my happening upon this awesome how-to video is a happy happenstance, serendipitous to the utmost. I shall try this out at home and at school, where I will "only" have to reckon with the wardens of colored-ink-cost. With my 25$ color cartridges draining apace, I may plead my case to the governor....

Continuing my blogging/aggregating here....

I had blogged over at http://germangraff.blogspot.com/ for a short while, but shall continue here @ ode2learning. Let's call it a Neubeginn, a clean slate, a spring cleaning...a re-ordering of priorities....

As before, I'll aggregate a bunch of other people's materials here. I'll try to make attributions clear, and will certainly not claim authorship of any of these great presentations from SlideShare and elsewhere! Despite my fondness for SecondBrain (and I am looking forward to their next release), I love (and more importantly: need for my sanity!) the quick, handiness of Blogger.
