Course Description:
Using Your Computer Creatively

Computers, we all have them, we all use them, but do we enjoy them?  Our computers do many wonderful things.  Understanding what they can do and how they can help us to accomplish our own unique needs are two different levels of understanding.  In this course we will explore how to use current programs to save time, enrich presentations, and access the multitude of interesting and useful information and images available literally at our fingertips.  Students will explore creative uses of word processing, Internet searches, and presentation technology to enhance their skills and final  products for work, school and pleasure.
