Computer Applications PAC

Introduction

Students use Microsoft Office to complete several activities.Computers on the farm? It wasn’t that long ago that computers and agriculture didn’t go hand in hand. But because technology is advancing so rapidly, agriculture as well as other industries and businesses are becoming more dependent on computers. Computers give industries the speed and accuracy to keep up with the rapid changes.

In the Computer Applications PAC, students learn computer skills that prepare them to compete in the agriculture work force. They discover the difference between hardware and software as well as input and output devices.

Just how does a computer work? Students will study the CPU (Central Processing Unit), ROM (Read Only Memory), and RAM (Random Access Memory). After this brief introduction to computers,  they delve into Microsoft® Office.

Example of a PowerPoint presentationStudents work with Word, Excel, Access, and PowerPoint to produce various documents and presentations on an original nursery business that they create and develop.

Completing this PAC will give students a better understanding of computers and how they affect the agricultural industries.
