Sally Ride Tech-Tune UP

-- Harambee Community School
Welcome to this Tech Tune-Up Workshop!

Here is a place to get files that you can use as part of this workshop.

1. School Supply List -- or type it in yourself.
2. harambee text file. -- a text file that you can use instead of typing in a lot of text.
3. quiz.txt -- needed in the form making section.

Here are websites that I am sure to mention:

• Snag-it -- for creating screenshots.
• Word Templates -- from Microsoft
• PDF files of workshop handouts -- Feel free to use these but don't change them. I'd also like credit for them.
