bit of an interesting start to the semester, as we will be using a
'Team Teaching' approach. This class will be jointly taught by myself
and Mr. William "Bill" Reynolds, who happens to be one of the best and
most fun teachers of MS Office you will ever meet. Between the two of
us we will help you explore everything Information Technology has to
offer and all of the IT resources available to you at Monmouth U!
Please be sure to check the class blog frequently at

Also be sure to log in to see the details at:
http://ecampus.monmouth.edu - That site will be updated with Drop
Boxes, the Syllabus, and forum questions next week.
My email should you need to get me fastest is: sposten@gmail.com and
Bill can be reached at: WilliamSReynolds@aol.com
I do not recommend you use posten@monmouth.edu
We hope to see you all there at 6 Tuesday night, we will have a ton of
things to discuss. Couple of things we want you thinking about as you
come to our first meeting:
-How much do you _really_ know about computers? Do you know just
enough to get your work done or have you looked into ways that
computers are invading every aspect of our lives?
-What are computers doing today that we never expected just a few years ago?
-What is more important to you where technology is concerned:
Flexibility, stability, coolness or ease of use?
-What do you want to get out of this course? Are you here just
because it's a requirement or does technology genuinely really excite
you?
Do you know you can get the FULL MS office for just $60 as a student?
It's an amazing deal, Microsoft calls it the Ultimate Steal:
