Welcome
Welcome to a Life Skills WebQuest put together by Mrs. Hendricks and Miss Segraves. It will be a fun, yet eye opening experience for you. We will be here to support and guide you along this journey. Make sure you ask questions along the way. We are here to help. Have Fun!
Introduction
You've just graduated from a post secondary program. Your parents have told you to get a job and get out of the house. Welcome to the real world. In this WebQuest you will get a job in a new state, buy a car, find a place to live, develop and analyze a monthly budget and present your experiences to your peers.
Task
Using online resources, as well as text resources, you will find a job in a new city, buy a new or used car, and find an apartment. Next, you will calculate your net monthly pay using an existing Excel spreadsheet, develop a monthly budget using Excel and make several adjustments to your budget in response to life's little emergencies. Finally, you will share your experiences in the form of a PowerPoint slideshow.
