Macintosh Tutorial Information - Web Site Review

http://scilet.fortlewis.edu/edtech/mac/practice.htm

Since the Website in the textbook was not available, I looked up this site which gives very basic information for the beginning user of the Macintosh Computer. This would be good information for new students learning about the computers also. Some schools are fortunate to have computer lab teachers which other schools are not. This would be of assistance to the schools who do not have a computer lab teacher.

Sandy Turner from the Fort Lewis College/Adams State College system was the instructor of record.

Lesson One was a overview of the computer system with pictures and names of the hardware items.

Lesson Two covered getting started on the Mac. Here was indicated that a Tutorial could be located on each Mac and can be reached through the “question mark” on the right top corner of the screen.

There is a Part I and Part II on the Tutorial and it should take about one and one-half hours to two and two-half hours to complete these lessons..

Then complete the Lesson Three section on this web site. It is a review and practice of what was learned from the tutorial. It has Desktop, mouse, word processing applications, filing, and placing items in the trash questions.

I thought that this web site should have the information that I need for the computer to stop a print job. While I have a P.C. at home to use, I do not have a Mac so will attempt to check this out at school later.
