klmama Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 (Cross-posted on high school board.) What can you recommend for instruction on how to use Word, Excel, and Power Point? Online tutorials? Books? What's worked well for your students? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J&JMom Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I am working through selected chapters of this book with my 6th and 8th-grade boys. They watch over my shoulder as I do the lessons on my computer then I assign them projects to apply what they learned. The book is geared for college students, so I make more age appropriate assignments. It takes me about an 1 hour (20 mintues for 3 days) to complete one of their in-book lessons. YMMV. So far I done the 3 lessons from Word, 3 Power Point and will do 2 Excel lessons in about 9 weeks. The wrote their own papers using Word, created a Power Pointe presentation based on a social studies topic, and plan to do a science report with Excel. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1285169530/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elizabeth 2 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Check with your local library. They may have access to the Microsoft office certification instruction for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyincolorado Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I would check out Udemy and search for courses. They run frequent sales as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
