Subject: changing volume without exiting all programs

I mistakenly bought headphones for my lab without volume control. And to
adjust volume for some of the games for younger children requires that I
close the program to get to the volume control.

Does anyone know of a good, easy, and cheap way to use the keyboard to
adjust volume?

thanks in advance for any ideas,

I deleted the original email so forgive me for hoping it's quoted
correctly as: "Does your upper school curriculum include technology
and/or computer science as a graduation requirement?"

And my answer is yes.

*******************************************

Freshmen: Introduction to CIS

We combined material from A+ and MOUS certifications to provide our
students with a hands on approach to both the hardware and software of a
computer.

* This approach prepares our students for a dual-enrollment community
college class we offer

*******************************************

Sophomore: Introduction to CS

We developed this class to feed into AP Computer Science so it
emphasizes programming in Java. When student desire and time permits we
can include Robotics - also in java.

However, to keep kids engaged in this required class we also include
HTML, a brief section on animation, and creating simple games in Visual
Basic.

* This approach prepares students for AP, but it also keeps non-compsci
students engaged.

*******************************************

Jr./Sr: Advanced CIS

This is a high school / community college dual-enrollment class where
our participants can elect to pay the tuition and receive college
credit.

NOTE: we'll be moving this class down to our Freshmen soon and replacing
it with another class having more of a Network+ & Server+ emphasis.

* This approach caps our approach to preparing students for college as
well as equipping them to work while attending college.

*******************************************

We requests permit we offer:

Honors Computers

AP Computer Science

Web Development
