Regarding the computer club

Regarding the computer club curriculum, Ali. Before I do the 90 page download, can you confirm that Frontpage and Publisher are definitely required on a student accessible PC, as we do not have those applications. We only have the free version of Adobe and the video feature that comes with Windows XP Pro. Thank you. Mrs B

The curriculum includes

Submitted by alimc29 on Mon, 07/14/2008 - 11:34.

The curriculum includes lessons for multiple applications.  One lesson applies to FrontPage, one to Publisher, and a few to Adobe Photoshop, as well as a few more lesson plans for other apps.

I have not personally used it myself, but an alternative to Adobe Photoshop I've heard of is called Gimp: http://www.gimp.org/ (download for Windows at http://www.gimp.org/windows/).  It is not as high quality, but you may be able to adapt some of the PhotoShop lessons to this.

Another tool I have not tried, but am finding on a google search for "free frontpage alternative" is http://nvudev.com/index.php

The lesson plans are written in a step-by-step manner for the particular applications and versions, but are adaptable ideas for alternative applications, as long as you are able to find your way around the alternative apps.

Also, if you do not have PowerPoint, you could look into the OpenOffice Suite http://www.openoffice.org/, which includes free alternatives to Microsoft Office, including Impress, which is the PowerPoint alternative, and Draw, which youth might enjoy using.

Good luck!
