Microsoft Access
Through the study of the appropriate use of a database management system (DBMS), and the Microsoft Access application, students will learn to make informed decisions about DBMS technologies and their applications. The Microsoft Access lesson projects will be used to actually apply the techniques covered.  Critical Thinking Activities will give the student an opportunity to apply creative analysis and use the help system to solve problems. Students will study problem-solving strategies, synthesize knowledge, create a solution and evaluate the results
