Year 9 Publications

TEMPO!

Tempo! is the ideal text to use to introduce students to the keyboard at either Year 9 or 10 and gives new students their first look at a range of computer applications.

Information Management courses for Year 9 can range from six weeks to a full year. Accordingly, this material can be used at either Year 9 or Year 10 depending on the length of course being offered.

Tempo! provides a resource of straightforward instructions and practice tasks in the following areas of computer use:

Keyboarding
Word processing
File management
Desktop publishing
Spreadsheets
Presentations
Internet

We recommend that students work through the skills sections first, which feature tasks that are graded in order of difficulty, before attempting the thematic assignments at the end of the book - these tie together the various types of application.

To use Tempo! effectively, students will need some basic file management skills, such as the ability to save files, retrieve them, and print them out. We have introduced the applications and provided instructions for Microsoft programs, but most suites of software should be suitable for achieving the desired results and presentation.
