Computer Literacy Help

[nestof3]

Do you have any recommendations for computer literacy? My son has already learned a ton just by using his computer -- the same way I learn, by figuring it out as he goes along. He uses the internet, an encyclopedia, MS Word (typing papers, adding images, altering images, adding text to images, etc), using media player, MP3 player, etc.

Aside from Excel and Powerpoint, what else would you recommend?

BTT -- anyone?

DD took a computer literacy course at the local CC and they covered word processing, powerpoint, excel, and database. They used the Shelley Cashman series text for Office. It's a self-directed text that could easily be used independently at home (at the CC, DD got 3 credits for it.)

The book is pricey but easily available cheaper used.

if you want a formal "course" for high school credit, Potter's School has several courses on computer applications and programming.
