MOS Certification (Week 3)

We are finished up with our word processing and professional communication unit, and I'm happy to say every student passed both of their assessments.  Great group of students!  Before we go on to spreadsheets, every student in class volunteered to try the MOS Microsoft Certification Test for Microsoft Word.  We will get students set up with their Certiport accounts next week and will prepare for this test.  These students have a great opportunity to really make themselves marketable and have a great resume piece if they earn their Microsoft Certification.  If they choose to take Info Tech 2, they have another opportunity to take this exam in Word, and also Excel, PowerPoint, and Access!

word processing (week 2)

We have spent this past week learning about information technology.  We set up our IT computer accounts, learned how to navigate and utilize the folders in our business department server, and researched various technologies, what technologies influenced or were the influence of those technologies (if that makes sense).  The next learning in our class will involve using word processing applications (Microsoft Word 2016 and Google documents) to create professional communications.  Many of us are also getting familiarized with Windows 10 in the process.

Students will have the opportunity to take the MOS Microsoft Certification Exam in Microsoft Word at the conclusion of this unit.  This certification test is free for our students (a GREAT bargain) and looks great on job applications and resumes.  As we progress through our word processing unit, more information will be available for students to use and share with parents.
