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.

Welcome to my site. Here you will find class information in the public folder concerning the class and additional information about all things Computer-related. Also check out the links list below for additional sites with information on “stuff” to do with computers. Please feel free to post interesting information you would like to share with other students. This is also a good place to ask questions and get answers. Thanks for being in my class and I look forward to the next 4 weeks with you.
 
There won’t be a formal book for this class. However, much of the material we discuss and the exercises we do come from a book called “Power Point 2007.” The ISBN number for this book is 9780763829933.
