Welcome Internet students! I am so happy to have you in my class. I look forward to the 4 weeks we will spend together. I promise to make it as enjoyable and as informative as possible. We do not use a specific book in class. Any book on the Internet will cover the items I discuss in class. You may chose to go get a book at your local book store for additional information or not. It is up to you.

Here is some new technology for you to read about. It is using Microsofts Kinect. I think it is very cool. Take a look! http://blogs.technet.com/b/next/archive/2011/10/19/microsoft-research-shows-some-fresh-thinking-on-nui-and-touch-interface.aspx

Welcome Level  2 Excel students! I am so happy to have you in my class. I look forward to the 6 weeks we will spend together. I promise to make it as enjoyable and as informative as possible. The book we will be using in class is new. The ISBN number for the Level 2 book is 9780763843151.Used books are very hard to find since this is a very new book. As discussed in class, this is where you will find additional information for class. Below are some helpful links for getting strated in the new 2010 software and specifically, Excel.
