Nestof3 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Do you have any recommendations for computer literacy? My son has already learned a ton just by using his computer -- the same way I learn, by figuring it out as he goes along. He uses the internet, an encyclopedia, MS Word (typing papers, adding images, altering images, adding text to images, etc), using media player, MP3 player, etc. Aside from Excel and Powerpoint, what else would you recommend?

DollyM Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 DD took a computer literacy course at the local CC and they covered word processing, powerpoint, excel, and database. They used the Shelley Cashman series text for Office. It's a self-directed text that could easily be used independently at home (at the CC, DD got 3 credits for it.) The book is pricey but easily available cheaper used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brenda in MA Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 if you want a formal "course" for high school credit, Potter's School has several courses on computer applications and programming. Brenda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
