This independant consultant volunteers his time, fielding questions on any topic. After this, the main presentation by a vendor's representative is given. The presentation is usually about 30 to 45 minutes long. Last, we have a raffle drawing. The DTP SIG often features a second presentation by the same representative who talked about a different product during the General Meeting.
Discussions usually range from scanning and image editing to printing and illustration.
SIG discusses programs of special interest to teachers of all grades. Topics of discussion include regular business programs used to aid teacher's duties, like using a spreadsheet to keep students grades. This SIG has a repeating cycle of seven sessions discussing the basics of using the Macintosh, introductory use of spreadsheets, word processing, databases, font usage and standard utilities. On-line services are also covered. As you might expect, making the most of the myriad features of Provue's fast database program, recently upgraded, keeps these afficianados busy at the meetings at the Plainedge library.
