Microsoft Office Lessons for Middle and High School

Engage middle and high school students with Microsoft Office lessons that simulate the real world. In TechnoWonderland, students become marketing executives for an amusement park. This challenging job has them use Microsoft Office to complete a wide range of job duties.

The course begins with students creating a poster in Microsoft Word that advertises the thrilling rides and spectacular shows that guests can experience. The fun continues, as teens conduct Internet research for an animal exhibit to develop placards for the enclosure. Their next task involves selecting a new attraction by graphing survey data using Microsoft Excel. Students then promote this exciting new addition by creating a video using Microsoft PowerPoint. To generate a buzz about the new attraction, season ticket holders receive an invitation to an exclusive event, created using Microsoft Publisher. With the year ending, students analyze data using a Microsoft Access database to improve customer satisfaction.

View All FAQ

How long does it take to teach a course?

Every course includes a schedule. It lists the time recommended for each assignment. Typically, it takes between 30-60 minutes to complete an assignment depending on the grade level. Based on this time frame, a typical course takes between 360-600 minutes to complete. This is about 6-8 weeks if your students have computer class twice a week. However, if your students have computer class every day, a course can be completed in about 2-3 weeks.

How do I decide which assignments to teach?

You may not have the time to teach an entire TechnoKids course. The good news is that TechnoKids offers flexibility. Many courses can be shortened by omitting assignments or lengthened by including skill reviews and extension activities. You can easily adapt the course to suit your schedule. Refer to the Ideas for Implementation section in the teacher guide for suggestions.

Does the course integrate into other subjects?

TechnoKids courses are inter-disciplinary. This means the lesson plans blend computing skills with general content areas such as language arts, geography, or business studies. If you do not have a dedicated digital literacy class, refer to the Technology Integration Suggestions section in each teacher guide for ideas on how you can include the course in other subject areas.

Is the course a subscription?

Yes. When you purchase a course, you have access to the instructional materials for 12 months. After that time, should you want to continue, you will need to renew the subscription.

Is the course online?

Yes. You must sign into TechnoHub to access the course content from your bookshelf. The teacher guide and student workbook for a course are available online only. However, resources such as assessment tools, handouts, course slides, templates, and samples are downloadable.
