Detailed Description
Students create professional spreadsheets and presentations using
specialized software. Students produce and edit spreadsheets of
varying complexity by entering and editing data, building formulas,
and enhancing spreadsheets. Students become proficient in using a
spreadsheet application to format, organize, analyze, and present
information. Students plan, create, and revise electronic
presentations. Presentations are enhanced by formatting slides using
design templates, styles, bullets and numbering, headers and footers,
and speakers notes. Visual appeal is created with images, animation
effects, and sound and video effects. Presentations are shared for
collaboration and review with others. Through hands-on learning and
