Microsoft Access

Many of us have been using Microsoft Office applications such as Word and Excel, but there is another program in the MS Office suite called Access, which many of us have not used. Access is a database management program that allows us to store, organize and retrieve information. Access also allows us to query data and produce some nice looking reports. 

Before I have use word and excel to store data because I did not have any idea of MS access since I haven’t learned access before. After joining to college I have learned the MS access were we can stores information.  The things that I have learned in access were very new knowledge to me, were access is a database of collection of related data where it stores information and viewed in many different ways.

And the thing I have learned in database is to store, add, delete, and update the data in the database. It also provides various ways to view the data in the database. For example, we can display data on screen in a form or print out a report. Not only that in a database I have learned how to make the relationship between the forms.

In the ICT class I have learned how to make students bio data in access. By using table and form I have created the student’s bio data where we can able to keep the record of the students. Not only that I have done the calculation in the access, were we can perform the operation. It helps us to make our work easier by using access. 

Overall Microsoft Publisher is a well-rounded program, that takes from other Microsoft programs to make a more specific and useful application. It is a very useful tool for teachers to create a fun and educational environment for students, in and out of the classroom. If you want to know more about access than you can just click the link below .I have created some forms that might be useful.

Microsoft Word

Microsoft word is an important education application. It is important to process raw facts into meaningful information. It helps us to create new innovative methods of teaching and learning. It also helps to transmit educational materials and practice systematically in school and university faster with higher quality. I believe Microsoft Word fits most of the principle of universal design. 

Microsoft word is equitable, due to the design being useful and marketable for a variety of people, including teachers, business professionals, and a long list of many other occupations. It is flexible in use in how Microsoft Word provides a wide variety of templates for the user specific needs, including a template for making a brochure, newsletter, blank document, flyer, etc. It also has a useful tool bar that provides ways to insert charts, tables, SmartArt and much more. This provides the user with a range of choices in which method to use and the ability to use tools that are best suitable for their needs.

It is one of the tools that help us to create our work easier and faster .Before as a student in the school we tends to write and practices  a school leaving certificate and leave letter on notebooks. It’s taking lots of time but after using MS words its make our work easier and faster. Not only that one of the benefit of using MS words is by learning and using Microsoft Word in school and collage we can create various documents in future so that we don’t have to spend money on computer courses.  We have learned to design invitation card to our friends. So by learning various features of Microsoft Word as a future teacher its make our work easier and faster.
