Hello all. I hope you have had a great summer! will be starting my classes next week. First up will be Excel Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 5:30. Saturday morning at 8 will be Word. This will be the first time I will have taught Word on a Saturday. So for those beginners out there that would like to take Word on a weekend, this is a rare opportunity.

Tons of new stuff awaits you! We have new computers on the desktop and they are nice! We are now officially teaching Windows 10 and it is the default OS on the computers now. Also, we have upgraded to the newest version of Office…2016.

The biggest change will be how we teach. NO MORE BOOKS REQUIRED….for any class. Why you may ask, because everything will be web based. You are going to get access to all kinds of online training and an eBook for free! You will be able to access these resources from any computer with an internet connection.

So lots of exciting changes! Hopefully I’ll see you all next week!

The book ISBN for this class is Benchmark Excel 2013 L1&L2, 9780763853891. The Excel 2013 Level 2 only is 9780763853914. I would suggest looking for a used book at Amazon.com or half.com. It should save you some money.

Welcome Level 1 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 for the Level 1 book is 978-0-76384-311-3 (with CD), 978-0-76384-314-4 (without CD). Used books are very hard to find since this is a very new book but Amazon does have some.

As discussed in class, this website 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.
