Software Clearinghouse Offering New Titles – The New Mexico Educational Software Clearing House (NMESCH), located in the Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE) at ENMU, is offering for review two new educational software programs: Cross Country USA 2 and Auditory Memory for Quick Stories. If the following reviews interest you, come check out the software for yourself at the CTE.

Cross Country USA 2 is an educational software simulation game, produced by Ingenuity Works Inc., aimed at teaching basic facts about the United States, map reading and interpretation, and budgeting skills. Students participate in one or two player games as truck drivers responsible for delivering goods to places across the country given budget constraints, and limited pick-up and delivery options. All in all, Cross Country USA 2 accomplishes its educational objectives successfully, and is fun to play too. The game can be useful from K-12 grades, and would recommend it to teachers looking for a good classroom resource with these educational needs.

Auditory Memory for Quick Stories is an interactive program for improving auditory memory and comprehensive skills. The CD-ROM and Reproductive Workbook contain delightful and engaging short stories with follow-up comprehensive questions. This software accomplishes its goal of improving auditory memory and comprehension skills through drill and practice of listening and understanding skills. In a nutshell, this software is recommended for the teaching of elementary school kids auditory memory skills.

Use of University Facilities Clarified – Earlier this semester I sent out an e-mail quoting the University policy for use of facilities, which read: "University facilities may not be used in any manner to involve the university as endorsing a partisan, political, sectarian, or religious position." I interpreted this policy to include private offices. Since sending that e-mail, I have consulted with the University's legal counsel and she has a different interpretation than I. She believes that private offices are not covered under this policy and individuals are free to post signs of any nature in their offices. The attorney does state that we cannot post in hallways or windows, nor can we distribute in any fashion, material that would fall under the definition of partisan, political, sectarian or religious. I'm sorry for any discomfort caused by my misunderstanding. – Steven Gamble, President

TechTips – Helpful Hints for using ENMU Technology (courtesy of ITS Computing)

Computing
Word series – A faster way than the Thesaurus to find synonyms
You can see a list of synonyms by:
1. Right-clicking on a word.
2. Then choose Synonyms from the menu.
Unfortunately, some types of formatting disable this feature. For example, if the word is in a bullet or numbered list item, the synonym option does not appear when you right-click.

Outlook series – Delay delivery of a message
Did you ever want to create a message and not send it until a later date? Outlook has that ability.
1. Create a message as usual.
2. Double click Options on the toolbar.
3. Click on Options again (depending on version you may not need to do this).
4. Under Delivery options, select the Do not deliver before check box, and then click the delivery date and time you want.
DAT file version update – To check that your computer is up-to-date with the most current versions of virusscan software, locate the blue and white shield with a red “V” in it by your system clock on the bottom right side of your screen and click on it with the right mouse button. Then choose “About VirusScan Enterprise” in the pull-down box. There are two things to look for; one is the “Virus Definitions” which should be at 4399 and the other is the “Scan Engine” which should be at 4.3.20. If either one is not displaying the above versions, please contact the Helpdesk at 562.4357 for assistance.

Are you going to be away from your office for an extended period of time and will not be listening to messages?

From the Ready prompt, press 4 7 and begin recording.
