Managing
Your Money Effectively
We spend many hours
planning for your classes, but we often forget to plan for ourselves
and our families, who deserve more time than our students and
courses. Learning to keep a balance in our life with finances
can decrease stress at home and improve our performance at work.
This session will introduce the basics of how to do a cash flow
plan, and how to ensure building a strong financial house for
the family, including business needs, wills, retirement, and
college planning.

Creating Effective Instructional Products With Powerpoint
Power Point can truly be a "powerful" software and one that can do more than just "present" information via the dreaded bulleted list. Using some the tools in Power Point, truly effective "Instructional Products" can be developed for online, hybrid or traditional face-to-face classes. The IDC will provide examples of Instructional Products that have been developed through Power Point and will demonstrate how easy it is to add the instructor’s narrations to a slide presentation and help to make the instructional products ADA compliant. Finally, participants will learn about two conversion software products that are available to all EKU faculty that are used to help students access the final Power Point instructional product easily from a course site. A drawing will be held at the end of this session for attendees to win a free gift.
