COURSE DESCRIPTION

The purpose of this class is to aid the student in developing confidence while using a computer for personal, educational and business use. Students will be introduced to word processing and presentation software through the Microsoft Office XP Suite. Students will also be introduced to new computer hardware and digital media such as a digital camara, digital video recorder, and scanner. Utilizing these skills, students will prepare a variety of personal and business documents. Basic computer terminology and concepts will also be reviewed. There will be a consistent focus on building keyboarding skills though the quarter

PROFESSIONALISM CHECKING ACCOUNT:

Every student will start each month with $200.00. You will manage your money and work towards class or individual reward. A “check” will be written from your account for the following:

• Being tardy
• Unexcused absences
• Forgetting your materials for class

· Using the restroom or telephone during class

• Being disruptive or disrespectful, etc.

This account will work for grading, classroom discipline, as well as rewards. Students will be provided rewards on a monthly basis, as well as a semester basis. Remember, student success in achieving rewards as well as a positive grade will be based upon each student’s effort, positive behavior and attitude.
