Jim:  Perhaps you could mention that fluency with WORD and EXCEL (or comparable packages) is a great boon to a student, and how students can go about increasing their command of these programs.  
Steve.

Subject: Freshman Orientation to Technology



Tbers,

I was recently asked to do a technology orientation for our incoming EOP
students.  This got me to thinking about what our incoming students need to
know.  Here is my list.  Comments?

Orientation to Blackboard
Where the computer labs for students are located and their hours
What is Print Quota and how much do they have (how to get more)
The student Computer Help Desk... where it is and what they do
Turnitin authentication paper checking service

What else do you think they should know about?
