Handouts are given explaining basic searching, reliable websites and explanations of search terms. Different search engines will be explained and used as we explore the Internet using a worksheet with suggestions.
Basic Internet II
Use information from the first class to build searching skills. Worksheet with search questions will be used plus whatever information the class would like to look up. If you have Internet experience, you may take this class without taking the first class.

This class will focus on inserting clip art and word art into a document. If time allows, also how to copy a picture from the Internet into your document. You will learn how to re-size, text wrap and move the pictures and word art around until you get it in the right spot.
Microsoft Word III
When you finish this class, you should be able to do almost everything this program will do. We will use columns, tables, footnotes, page numbering, word count, date and time, spell check and more. We will create a document putting all we have learned to use and print it out to see how well we did.

In this course, you will learn the basics of Microsoft PowerPoint, including how to set up a slideshow, insert pictures and charts into slides, change theme and slide design, and view your show.
TEL Career Transitions
This class will show you all the benefits of the Career Transitions section of the Tennessee Electronic Library (TEL). You will take a short career assessment test, research careers, build a resume, and search for jobs.
