Excel Short Cut Keys—Making Your Job Tasks Easier for You!
Presenter: Angela D. Passmore, Computer Education Department
An underutilized technique of increasing work efficiency is to use Excel shortcuts—or shortcut combination keys. Visualize simply pressing two or three keys on the keyboard as opposed to moving your hand to the mouse to accomplish a task in Excel. These shortcuts can perform many functions, from ones as simple as navigation within the spreadsheet to filling in formulas or grouping data, and are of particular help to users with carpel tunnel and vision or mobility disabilities. In this session, the presenter will explain how and why to use Excel Short Cut Keys, making your daily tasks faster and easier to complete.

Active Shooter/Violent Intruder and Workplace Awareness Training
Presenters: James Griffith and Mike Knowles
Dictated by tragic events and statistics, SJR State Campus Safety and Security has revised its lockdown procedures to reflect the new standard of care developed and implemented by the Department of Homeland Security and other federal agencies designed to supplement/enhance protocols (response procedures) during an emergency. Between 2000-2013, there were 160 “active shooter” incidents, and about 70% of the incidents took place at schools or businesses. In order to mitigate causalities during an active shooter/violent intruder event, it is critical to train faculty, staff, and students on the concept of being proactive in order to build their confidence when reacting to time- sensitive, life-threatening situations. This training while use the concepts of ALICE – Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Evacuate – a set of options-based strategies that effectively prepare, prevent, and increase an individual’s chances of survival during a violent intruder or active shooter event.

“Students Learn Best in Their Preferred Learning Style” and Other Neuromyths
Presenter: Dr. Anthony Carboni, Social Science/Psychology Department
“Right-Brained” Neuromyths are false beliefs often associated with teaching and learning that arise from misunderstandings about the brain and the mind. Based on survey responses from nearly a thousand instructors and support professionals, according to findings of the “International Report: Neuromyths and Evidence-Based Practices in Higher Education” released September 2019, professors are susceptible to neuromyths and so are the instructional designers and professional developers who support their teaching. Among the most widely believed neuromyths is that students learn best when they’re taught according to their “preferred learning style,” visual, aural, or hands-on learners for example. Other examples of pervasive neuromyths include that people can be “left-brained” or “right- brained” and that we use only ten percent of our brain. While belief in neuromyths has been established as prevalent among the general public and K-12 teachers, literature about neuromyth belief among higher education professionals (professors, instructors, and administrators) has not previously been well-researched.
