Participants will receive a disk with links to a wide variety of sites. We'll also spend time doing custom searches for sites of particular interest. We'll start with introductory material, including some tips and tricks to make the computer a more effective tool for you. Then we'll look at the Windows file system, learning how the computer stores and retrieves information. You'll also get some practical ideas for classroom use.
All exercises are hands on, with opportunity for practice.
