Reading, Writing, and Web Sites: Office in the Classroom
It's back-to-school time, and Office XP is here to help both teachers and
students do their best in the classroom. If your primary experience with computers in
a class has
been only with word processing programs,
you'll be delighted with how much more you can do.
Timelines, charts, diagrams, and graphs are great ways to show data and to teach
students how to display and analyze information. Tools in
Microsoft Word 2002 can make
dreary tasks like adding footnotes and tables
of content easy for your students. And
the Microsoft Office Template Gallery offers a cornucopia of templates
that help both teachers and students
get organized.
With Office XP, you'll have a classroom's worth of useful information and ideas.
