BamaTanya Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 My dc has been taking computer as an elective in ps. If we were to take dc out mid-year, what kind of curriculum could I use to complete this credit? I know dc has been responsible for creating PowerPoint presentations, but I don't think they've been using any kind of text. I'd hate to waste this partial credit. Any ideas appreciated!

bettyandbob Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Is the class to learn basic business applications (how to use powerpoint, how to use Word, how to use Excell, ect).? If that is the case then I get those programs or a bundled package of those programs and work through the tutorials the programs offer.

Brenda in MA Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 offers courses similar to what you've described. It's too late to sign up for this year, but you could check their website and see which texts they use. http://www.pottersschool.com HTH, Brenda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternatively, if you cannot find what you want to continue the course, count what he's done as half a credit. A number of the classes on my senior's transcript are for less than a full credit.

74Heaven Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I think another place offers it to, I can't remember if it is "Home2Teach" or "Write@Home". And it might not be as indepth as what Potter's School or the ps did? Also, Alpha Omega (or SOS?) has or had some kind of computer curriculum but I don't know the quality or if it is still offered. I'd love it if someone could vouch for the program's quality. I have thought about it a few times. Lisaj, mom to 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
