In this class, we learn the basics of using Microsoft Word 2019 and PowerPoint 2019. Having the ability to explain a project, lesson, a business, family reunion, and more can all be done through carefully crafted PowerPoints, while an understanding of Word gives students the ability to type reports, make flyers, create worksheets, and more! -------- Each recording will be 30 minutes to which you can pause and go back to whenever you want during the time of the course. There will be a total of 4 lessons. I will post the link to the new lesson each week. You'll have the whole week to look at the material and video at a time that works for you. You will have activities/ discussions posted in the classroom that you can participate in if desired. --------- Lesson 1: Using Microsoft Word 2019: Typing (font, size, italics, bold, etc.), orientation, margins, finding words, adding photographs, adding a border, and adding WordArt Lesson 2: Using Microsoft Word 2019: Adding a table, SmartArt, Footer & Header, page numbers, columns, icons and shapes, 3D objects, using highlighting, changing font color, making lists through numbers or bullet points, and using Format Painter Lesson 3: Using Microsoft PowerPoint 2019: Learn how to add and change text, add and move (or rotate) photographs (and how to put the photograph in the background/ transparency), add a new slide or duplicate a slide, add WordArt, pick a design to start with, add bullet points for a list, add transitions, and how to save Lesson 4: Microsoft PowerPoint 2019: Learn how to add animations to words and photographs, add icons and shapes, add 3D models and move them in different positions, insert a hyperlink, draw and eraser with pens and highlighters, change how photographs look (colors, transparency, moving them to the back, etc.), and learn more about creative commons licenses --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Homework is optional.

Parental Guidance
Students do not have to have a YouTube account. I will share this video in class or for homework to watch to learn more about creative commons for photographs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeTlXtEOplA&t=94s
Supply List
It would be good for your student to have Microsoft Word and PowerPoint on a computer/laptop to practice at home themselves what was learnt in class. However, homework is optional so if you do not have those applications and just want to watch, no worries.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from North Carolina State University
Using technology is embedding into our society and having the tools to understand how to confidently use it is important for self-confidence, school, daily use, and the workplace. I have experience in using Microsoft Windows 10 laptops and PCs, HP and Lenovo, and Apple Mac. I have used Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and video maker to enhance celebrations (birthday videos) and become teaching and school tools (PowerPoints with fun transitions to click once the answers have been guessed & Word to create matching worksheets, reports, and flyers). Using Wix, I have created websites for individuals and small businesses. I know use Google Sheets, Mac's Numbers, and Canva weekly. However, just having these tools available on a computer or online isn't truly helpful: knowing how to confidently use a computer and applications allow people of all ages to believe in themselves more. And that is my goal.
