Computer Literacy Skills
Week 2: February 18
Information Organization + Outlines
Here is the list of topics from the brainstorming session. Read through them, see where they can be condensed and simplified, and most important, find a way to group them into 5 or 6 general categories that we can use as links.
Your first assignment is to write up the categories and your choices on the individual topics as an outline in MS Word. Feel free to add or adjust the terms as you think necessary, and be ready to discuss these with your class.

The Point, as usual, is to communicate your ideas. We are telling a story, the story of your first year in college. So it is part what you yourself experience, and part what everyone in the group is experiencing. So we have to find a way to organize the information that is logical and will make sense to the vast majority of our audience.
