Hi List
Does anyone out there have a tool that they use to correct SACs? I am not sure but I think I have seen an Excel file somewhere on this list and I may have deleted it. If the kind person could re-send this I would be extremely appreciative!
Thanks

Hi Daniel,
Excel stores dates as sequential serial numbers so that they can be used
in calculations. By default, January 1, 1900 is serial number 1, and
January 1, 2008 is serial number 39448 because it is 39,448 days after
January 1, 1900.
To change the scale, click on one of the dates on the x axis, select the
scale tab and type in the appropriate serial number for the date that
you want on the axis.
To find the serial number of a date, type it in a cell on your
spreadsheet, format it as GENERAL. Then type this serial number into
your scale.
I've attached a copy of the file with a new scale.
Good Luck!

For those who indicated interest in virtual worlds for students. There
is a new teacher pd coming up
from Quest Atlantis. So, I have just copied and pasted the information
from Bronwyn Stuckey below
my signature.

From: Bronwyn Stuckey <bstuckey at intraceptives.com.au
You should consider Quest Atlantis http://www.questatlantis.org <http://www.questatlantis.org/>
I am the International liaison for this free program which involves
games, curriculum activity, 3D design and building in a virtual world.
It is is designed and managed by a team at Indiana University and the
only 'cost' for entry is the teachers' time do the 4 90 minute sessions
of online training (one each week).
We have a new PD program for Aus and NZ time zones about to start
Thursday 29th May at 7pm NZ and 5pm Sydney. Teachers are invited to sign
up with a buddy (2 teachers from a school) and we take you through the
use of the program and help you with any technical issues, supply
resources and support you over your class time in QA.
Angela Cooke in Tasmania is already using QA in her online program - and
there are a number of teachers on this list who have trained and I am
sure can attest to the value of QA.
So Nathan and anyone else if you are interested please contact me and I
will make a place for you in the next PD session.
Bronwyn

Good morning all,
Attached is an excel file that I have been using as a Gantt chart tool.
There is a chart in it with which I am having some trouble. The dates
are set to 2007, and I can't work out how to make it show data on the
chart with a current date.
Any assistance you can give would be much appreciated.
Thanks all,
Daniel
