The reason we are not currently running sessions?

Hello students The IT section is currently working furiously developing 2 new courses. Cert IV Help Desk and Diploma in Systems Admin. All our efforts are currently directed towards finishing these courses as soon as possible. This is why we are not currently running any sessions at the moment, but as soon as we free up some time then we will send out announcements as to when the next session will be run. regards Paul King IT Teacher

Session on V-Lookup

Hello everyone, I hoped you all enjoyed the session today with Eve Gray. It was on V-Lookup in Excell. We get a lot of helpdesk calls about this function and I am sure after today a lot of you that attended the live session will have a much better understanding of how this function works.

It was a really good turnout with 29 of you online. It was great to see some familiar faces and there were many "newbies" as well, and this was great to see. This is the link to todays session recording. http://webconf.det.nsw.edu.au/p33396093/
