That is great on the technology side, but what about the content?  good questions.  Nearly all the assignments require students to learn some aspect of business (careers, culture, telecommuting, promotion, recruitment, and more).  And you have the final say, so you can change the "topic" and keep the technology! In addition, several assignments are intended to help them learn about the technology that will help them during and after high school (personal organization, research, presentations, etc.).

Every activity challenges students to learn new information and use technology as an important part of the process.
