If you buy an iPad or an Apple desktop or laptop computer, you have to learn the operating system used on these products--Mac OS X (pronounced Mac OS ten). The St. Paul Public Library website directs you to the Northstar learning guides that teach basic computer skills, including both the Windows 7 and Mac OS X operating systems. These learning guides help you meet the Northstar Digital Literacy standards, which are widely recognized standards in adult education programs that teach computer skills.
NOTE: Sometimes the Mozilla Firefox browser (which won't run Adobe Flash Player software) doesn't work well with the Northstar online guides and tests that the St. Paul Public Library uses for teaching computer skills. Use Google Chrome or Microsoft Explorer instead.
My suggestion: Click on this link:
LINK: Learning Guide: Module 3B: Mac OS
You will see a chart like the one below, which matches the Northstar Learning Standards for using the Mac OS X operating system with links to learning resources that help you meet the standards. Click on the first link under Learning Resources (Using a Mac: What is an Operating System?) for a presentation.
Some of the links in the Learning Resource column on the right of the chart may present information you already know. When you think you know most of the information in the lessons, try the Northstar Digital Literacy Assessment (test) for the Mac OS X operating system by clicking HERE.
(All Northstar assessments begin with an audio test to see if your computer's sound is working--you should see a picture of a piano and hear music playing.)
