Synopsis

Making the Most of Microsoft Office® provides educators and curriculum developers with the fundamental skills and strategies necessary to become proficient users of Microsoft Office® technology and to integrate it effectively into the classroom.

This book is based on Microsoft Office 2000® technology. The text addresses issues such as “word processing” versus “typing,” the importance of communication design for today's students, and how to use the correct tools (e.g., databases and spreadsheets) to work as efficiently as possible. Applications covered in the text include Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and Access.

The authors believe that educators should first learn basic computer skills and the “basics” of teaching (e.g., methods courses) and then bring both sets of skills―technology and “teaching”―to such tasks as software evaluation, lesson plans, incorporating technologies, etc. Novice users will find this book very useful while advanced users will find skill-building activities in areas such as style-sheets and templates that will allow them to enhance communications to a greater degree.

Features

• Developed and field-tested for many years, this book focuses on Office 2000 but can easily be used with other versions of Office for both the Macintosh and PC.
• "Microsoft Office Menus" at the beginning of each chapter allow students to reference a printed copy of menus instead of clicking and searching.
• Provides an introduction to design principles and word processing guidelines. The text goes beyond “how to” use the software and encourages students to learn to use their computer to improve their communication when creating a variety of documents.
• Points about technical aspects of Office are highlighted as Technical Notes and vertical sidebars for entries highlight important ideas for ease of reference.
• References to ISTE National Technology Standards are embedded throughout the text.
• Focuses on concepts rather than keystrokes, but includes complete instructions for using the programs with "Keystroke Quick References" in selected chapters and the appendices.
• Provides examples of ways for teachers and students to use Microsoft Office both in and out of the classroom.
• Includes many graphics that illustrate examples so that students can verify that they have taken the correct steps in completing a task.
