I've created a wiki for Computer Literacy. I've seen some great ideas for topics and some really great lessons from you. Let's help each other out and post some helpful tips, ideas, and lessons. If you have something posted on Moodle that you'd like to share, please note that and your "enrolment" key so we can access them.

Here's a topic listing. Feel free to add if I've missed anything.


 * MS Word 2010-word processing**

I've been going through the lessons in the book and having the students do the projects. In lesson 1, I had students create a 5 question PowerPoint quiz with the review questions on EX32-33 using hyperlinking. They will view each others' and then take a quiz that Deb created using ExamView.
 * MS Excel 2010-spreadsheets**

I also did a used car assignment where students searched for a used car for under $10,000 using www.kbb.com. The spreadsheet I used is called dream car.xls and is posted on Moodle (enrolment key "colwell").

I have the students do a mailmerge project using MS Word and MS Access. Students write a "form" letter in Word about themselves then merge it with names and addresses of 3 family members. They print envelopes, too. Actual sending of these letters is optional. I will post assignment directions to Moodle soon. Nick
