WE - Project 1

Dear Parent:

Thanks for volunteering to be taught Windows Explorer.  The kids are anxious to teach you all about this program on your operating system. 

Below is what you can expect to learn.  These are some of the skills that the students are expected to teach you.  Your student has made up a quiz to test you at the conclusion.  At the end, please fill out an evaluation on your student-teacher and have him or her return it to me.

Thank-you for your cooperation.

Mrs. Conner
