Subject: Opportunity for Free Home Education College Course!


Hello,

My name is Kristin Barber and I work in the Advanced Technology Center's distance learning office at Shawnee State University in Southern Ohio ( http://www.didlet.org ).  Our University knows how difficult it can be for home school parents to provide their children with the computer skills they will need to be successful in college and in their future careers.  We have therefore decided to offer a free online computer class to home schooled students in Ohio who are 14 or older and the class is based on a course we teach to freshman and post-secondary high school students. 

The course is called "ETEC1302 Computer Systems: Gateways to Cyberspace" and the class uses a series of free eBooks called "The Professor and Pat" series.  I will be teaching this course and the books are available at the following website:

http://professorandpat.org


These books were written by Ted Kosan and he is one of our faculty members.  He is also a home school father and the books have been designed so that they are easy to use by home school students.

If you are interested in this course, more information about it can be found on this website:

No college credit can be given for the course since it is free, but students will still receive useful knowledge and skills by taking it.

If you have any questions, feel free to email me at kbar...@gmail.com


Sincerely,
Kristin Barber
