The annual PowerUp with Classroom Technology workshop is offered to PAUSD teachers the week before teachers return to work in the fall. Teachers can earn district professional growth credit of 2 semester units or 3 quarter units from UCSC for a fee. On-line enrollment for the summer 2007 session will be available in the spring.

Adding Word documents to your Website
There are three ways to link Word documents (or Excel, AppleWorks, etc.). Each one has advantages and disadvantages:
  1. Posting the original Word file: Add “.doc” to the name of the file link. This downloads the original Word file. If the person downloading the file doesn’t have your fonts it will look different to them.
  2. Save as HTML in Word: Not always pretty, but fast! You can open the html file in any HTML editor and change formatting.
  3. Save as pdf: You need to buy a program to do this unless you are running OS X. PDFWriter is fairly inexpensive, Adobe Acrobat is fairly expensive. (If you are running OS X, the operating system easily saves as pdf.)
