New version includes Windows 10

NOTE: This new version includes only Windows 10 and replaces word processing with Internet safety (phishing/ID theft). When you need a comprehensive course that starts with the basics - start here. This course is a ground-level introduction for the student who needs to learn what a tower and mouse is, how to properly turn a computer on and off, how to use windows in Windows, an introduction to the Internet and email, and includes Internet safety. For a shorter version of this course see Meet the Computer.

NOTE: New version July, 2019 updated to reflect changes to Windows 10 with update 1903. For more information read https://www.oasisnet.org/National-Programs/Connections-Technology/Blog/ctl/EditArticle/mid/2394/ArticleID/1776

Introduction to Computers with Windows 10 eliminates references and screenshots for Windows 7. An addendum for Windows 7 is available. Microsoft ended main support for Windows 7 in 2015 and will end extended support soon. Students should learn Windows 10 to future-proof their instruction. This version also replaces Microsoft Word with a section on staying safe online with a focus on recognizing and avoiding phishing and identity theft attempts.
