Word - TEC 920

The Ultimate Writing Tool

Course Description

Word processing has come a long way since the early days of the line editor and now presents both teacher and administrator with a powerful tool. Word has become a multimedia, internet, and non-linear tool for the classroom and has the potential to greatly increase student control over their own learning resulting in higher achievement and motivation.

The focus of this course is how Word can be used to impact student achievement. The hands-on exercises are tied to curriculum and move through the basics (tabs, margins, formatting) to intermediate (columns, writing tools, graphics) and onto advanced features (desktop publishing, web page publishing, hyperlinks, merging data) - all focused on student achievement.

Unleash the power of this application in your classroom to impact your effectiveness and efficiency and to improve student achievement.

This course supports Office XP and above but older versions will work just fine.
