Chavez Moodle Site

An introduction to computer information systems, this class focuses on computer applications and telecommunications.

Topics covered include the history, uses, and practices of computer technology. The readings and most assignments are on-line and collaborative. No texts are required.

Some of you have expressed an interest in identifying a book that would have step-by-step instructions for doing the kinds of projects we have done in class. The text (any edition) that I recommend is by Shelly,Cashman, and Vermaat. Some of the projects we have done come from this book. The text covers Access, Excel, PowerPoint, and Word. Each chapter is a step-by-step description for creating a project. Each application has about three chapters. There are also labs and practice projects at the end of each chapter. I have a solutions disk (somewhere)that I can copy for you if you would like. Let me know and I will look for it. Here is the book details: Shelly, G.B., Cashman, T.J., Vermaat, M.E. (2003). Microsoft Office XP: Introductory Concepts and Techniques, Windows XP Edition. Cambridge, MA.: Course Technologies. ISBN#: 0-619-20003-0. You can find a used copy at www.half.com for cheap. Today I saw some going for around $5!!
