MACS, Chrome Books, Smart Phones (Be Informed)
Be Aware of Platform Differences or Limitations!
MAC Book
If you are using a Mac for your work in this class, please realize that the MAC version of the Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), can look different with different interface views (Menus/Buttons).
During Weeks 7-10, we will use Microsoft Access, which is not supported by MACs. Those weeks you will need to find a PC to do your work.
CHROME Book
Chrome Books do not work well at all, as you cannot load the needed software. If the software does load, it will only allow you to work in the CLOUD, which will not offer a full set of menus and commands needed. This was the experience students had last term. They ended up using a desktop PC instead.
CELL Phones
While you can use your cell phone for a lot of applications, please know that trying to use the Word, Excel, Access and PowerPoint application to finish your projects will not work well. Please plan to have a laptop to complete that type of work.
If you have further questions about these comments, let me know.
LIBRARY LAPTOP CHECKOUT!
It may be possible to check out a laptop to use during the term, from your local library.
