Module
1
Office Software, Introduction
In this module, you will:
- analyze an InTime video
to determine how the teacher incorporated technology creatively
and educationally to enhance the lesson he/she presented
- identify a lesson of three or more class
sessions in duration to develop throughout this course,
using technology to enhance that lesson
We begin our course by examining the most common technology
applications in the K-12 classroom, the "Office"
software applications. Typically, a package of office software
includes a word processing program, a spreadsheet, and a database.
Often, there are other products packaged with these, but these
are the mainstays.
Microsoft's products that match these definitions are Word
(word processing), Excel (spreadsheet), and Access (database).
AppleWorks has similar products for those using Macs.
In this module, we will look at how practicing teachers are
creatively using these tried and true applications. Then,
we will begin to examine a technology-based lesson plan that
you will develop throughout this course.
