Software workshops - Updated

Need to brush up on PowerPoint,  Word, or Excel? The LRC and GED/HS Diploma Program present a revised schedule of workshops for your learning needs. If your knowledge is so-so or iffy on this software, definitely plan to take these courses; the software is required in almost every program here at IOT Modesto.

Students in culinary use Excel for food costing and employee schedules, while Word is used for independent studies projects. Each program requires the use of Word for projects and assignments, and most programs require students to make presentations using PowerPoint.

Workshops are usually scheduled for Fridays, mid-day. Come with your friends & family! See schedule for more details.

End of the mod...

As the end of a mod looms, please take a moment to review a few important things:

• The LRC homepage has links to MyIOT for students to log in & check your grades. Look at top left. Ask us if you need to know your username. 
• Stumped on APA style? We have handouts that show you how to make a References section. 
• Don't have a flash drive? That's not excuse not to save your documents! Get a Dropbox account now and be prepared for the start of next mod. 

MBCS Students Take Note: ICD-10 Workshop

This is your opportunity to learn about  the new ICD-10 coding system, which is scheduled to take effect on October 1, 2014. 

With the adoption of the ICD-10 coding system, the number of medical codes for various diagnoses and disease conditions will increase from about 18,000 to about 155,000 entries. A number of them have been highlighted in popular journalistic accounts, including codes for injuries sustained in a collision with a bicycle, while knitting and crocheting or gardening and landscaping, or in a collision with a balloon. Codes are also assigned to cases where a patient has been bitten by a parrot, injured in a spacecraft collision, or sucked into a jet engine.

Come to our ICD-10 Workshop to get an insight into the ICD-10 coding scheme and learn the differences between ICD-9 and ICD-10. You'll also become familiar with the ICD-10 books and begin doing exercises to learn how to use ICD-10.
