Office Applications: Volume 1 - Site License (Texas Version)

Non-software specific project-based lessons that cover all the office applications; word processing, spreadsheet, database, and presentation.

These creative and innovative lessons emphasize the use of office applications for real-world scenarios and reinforce critical thinking skills. Project lessons are learner-centered and encourage students to take responsibility for their own learning as they become engaged in the activities. Additional teaching resources include examples, solution files, presentations to introduce specific topics, and three Web Quests. Appropriate for a variety of classes, this collection of teaching resources is classroom tested and created by teachers for teachers.

Teacher's Edition: This book contains all the student instructions for each lesson - hard and digital copies (word and PDF), and all the teacher instructions for each lesson - hard and digital copies. The layout of the teacher instructions save teachers' planning time, grading time, and help promote the role of facilitator - i.e. the students are working harder, not the teacher.

Student project books: These books contains non-software specific project-based lessons (including rubrics) that cover a wide range of technology skills. Each student book is for one student – it contains the student instructions for each lesson and a CD that contains any files the student would need to complete the project.
