Ms. Alston

This course of study is designed to teach the student computer concepts as related to processing data into useful information needed in business situations by using database, spreadsheet, word processing, and presentation software.  Because the design of this course is to prepare students for Microsoft Office User Specialist (MOS) Certification, the emphasis is on speed, accuracy, and production using proper keyboarding techniques.

This course is designed introduce the students to new and emerging technologies that are impacting the way we input information into computers and other devices. Students will go through a review of keyboarding skills in preparation for an introduction to using speech recognition software. Personal digital assistants will be introduced as a tool for personal and business applications. Students will also have an opportunity to explore digital imaging and the various methods of input available for inclusion in documents.

Thank you for visiting Ms. Alston’s classroom. I am the newest member of the Business Education Department at Summerville High School. I am currently teaching Digital Input Technologies and Integrated Business Applications I.
