Career and Technical Ed Curriculum

Information Systems 1

Keyboarding instruction will be a component of this course based on student need. This computer-based course teaches students to use technology efficiently and effectively to gather and organize information, and problem-solve tasks. Through a series of software applications and activities, students will establish a strong foundation in keyboarding techniques and proficiency, manage computer systems, produce word processing documents, develop spreadsheets, databases, and multimedia presentations; and, work with telecommunications and networks. Integrating lessons with real-life business applications and cross-curricular learning activities will enable the students to become better prepared for life-long learning and problem solving. The cooperative education (Business Cooperative Internship--679920) method is available for this course. Students combine classroom instruction and supervised on-the-job training in an approved position with continuing supervision throughout the school year.
