CalWORKs
Invest Computer Lab
The
CalWORKs Invest Computer Lab is interactive learning for the 21st
century. In
addition to classes and academic counseling, CCSF students can enhance
their hours of independent study, thanks to the Invest Lab software
available at six campus locations. The software titles Destinations
and Rosetta Stone allows students to test their knowledge
in a variety of subjects, and serves as a supplement to regular
classes for students working towards their GED, as well as English
as a Second Language (ESL) students who are improving their communication
skills.
The
material is presented in a user-friendly manner, engages the student,
providing a pleasant and effective learning experience. The Destinations
software can be very valuable for any student (or instructor) who
wishes to enhance knowledge on a wide range of subjects, from balancing
a checkbook to preparing for a job interview.
The
Rosetta Stone software offers ESL students an opportunity to enhance
their reading, listening and verbal skills, and allows students
to record and compare their pronunciation to recorded samples. A
visual interface, with written examples and detailed images, takes
the frustration out of learning a new language.
