This practical, graphically appealing text is a step-by-step guide for showing future K-12 teachers how to make maximum use of Microsoft® Office to accomplish not only their teaching tasks, but their necessary record keeping and extracurricular activities, as well. It encompasses the applications software most often used by classroom teachers: word processing, database, spreadsheet, e-mail, and presentation. The authors treat these applications software packages as tools for enhancing the effectiveness of teachers with their students; and, as vehicles for helping teachers make the most of the time and energy they have to devote to vital classroom management responsibilities.
