In virtually every business, computers play a significant role on a daily basis. In Computer Applications you will learn how to use the computer to serve a number of your needs--and those of prospective employers. Using the Microsoft Office suite of products you will achieve the following:

• Learn and apply the features of Microsoft Word to format word processing documents using fonts, graphics, borders and shading, tabs, indents, and tables
• Learn and apply the features of Microsoft Excel to create spreadsheets including formatting, calculations, and charts
• Learn and apply the features of Microsoft Access to develop databases, sort and filter information, and create reports
• earn and apply the features of Microsoft Publisher to design and format business documents including newsletters, brochures, flyers, certificates, and business cards

This is a hands-on course using computers daily. Class time is an important commodity. If you need to make up work you missed, you are to make arrangements to do so during a free period, lunch, or after school.

Please Note: When in the computer lab for special projects, students are expected to abide by the school’s Acceptable Use Policy at all times. Accounts will remain locked until the AUP form has been returned with the appropriate signatures.
