  7. Three Template Formats • “.exe” for PCs • “.pdf” for Mac and PCs • “.ofm” for PCs 1edweb@1edweb.com

  8. Upgrading Your Templates • Linking your forms • Drop down menus • Auto field fill-in • Help messages • Quick tabbing • Hypertext links • Database compliance with Filler 5.0 1edweb@1edweb.com

  9. Organization and Use of Templates EXE is a self executable file for windows. Recommend create 3 folders on your desktop: see “Help- Aides” on 1edweb “Template Library” “Save as” from your template library into your student folders. “IEPs 2003 – 2004” “Samantha May” 1edweb@1edweb.com

  10. Organization and Use of Templates PDF templates are created for our Mac Users. To open the template and fill-in you will need Adobe Reader (free download) To save and edit (spell check), you will need Adobe Approval ($39.00). Organize your folders the same as your .exe 1edweb@1edweb.com

  11. Organization and Use of Templates OFM templates provide a significant upgrade to your templates ($39.95) • Spell check • Searchable database • 10,000 records per template • Smaller file size Two options in organizing your folders. 1) same as .exe or 2) incorporating records into your template (recommended). Cathy will demonstrate. 1edweb@1edweb.com

  12. Collaboration Using IEP Templates Collaboration saves times and enhances communication in preparation for an IEP meeting. How do you collaborate with your parents and related service professionals? • Meetings and Staffings • Informal • Formal • Phone/Fax • E-mail • Web-based 1edweb@1edweb.com

  13. Templates During The IEP Meeting Templates are a wonderful way to “bring together” team members during the meeting by making corrections and refinements on the “fly.” No technology: paper-based review making pen and ink changes One computer/printer: District Admin. (team meeting notes) Two computers/printer: District Admin. and Case Manager Using templates/pictures & videos within a MS PowerPoint is a great way to support your meetings and will reduce time in your meetings. 1edweb@1edweb.com

  14. Seating During The IEP Meeting Be proactive and ensure team members are seated to accommodate non confrontation communications. I have found it beneficial to have my parent (s) sit to my left and district administrator on my right. I use a desktop computer for my administrator and a laptop with the parent. I duplicate what I am presenting on related service professional laptops (should they bring one to the meeting.) 1edweb@1edweb.com
