Microsoft Office for Teachers - Tapa blanda

For Computers in Education or Instructional Media and Technology courses. Covers Office basics, Access, and Outlook. This practical, graphically appealing text is a step-by-step guide for showing future K-12 teachers how to make maximum use of Microsoft (R) Office to accomplish not only their teaching tasks, but their necessary record keeping and extracurricular activities, as well. It encompasses the applications software most often used by classroom teachers: word processing, database, spreadsheet, e-mail, and presentation. The authors treat these applications software packages as tools for enhancing the effectiveness of teachers with their students; and, as vehicles for helping teachers make the most of the time and energy they have to devote to vital classroom management responsibilities.
