The
use of technology in various fields is an undisputed fact and mastery in MS Word and Excel is a skill highly sought after by employers even after school. Since
there is greater access to computer-based technology in the schools, focus has
been on training students to effectively use all the applications the computer
comes with not forgetting MS Word and Excel.
Therefore,
Bright’s monolithic work Easy Guide on Word and Excel made Easy
for Secondary Schools and Tertiary Institutions, which is the second
edition of his first edition titled Excel
for All provides the necessary content for those who want to master Word and Excel respectively. The current editions have material that
have further been updated where called for.
These editions are replete with
illustrations that are friendly to students in the Senior High School and
Tertiary Institutions. The idea is to give enough skill to
students/teachers/workers to navigate around any Word or Excel related work.
It
is gratifying to learn that this practical oriented work has come at a time
when the Government of Ghana is integrating Information Communication
Technology into the working environment and in schools as well. This book has
also been written in line with the ICT Elective Syllabus and ICT Core Syllabus.
In
addition, Easy Guide on Word and Excel made Easy will be a very good practical guide to
students at the tertiary who undertake compulsory and Elective ICT courses.
These books are also a good reference material to assist teachers in their
teaching. For example, current research (Benning & Agyei, 2016) is
championing the integration of Spreadsheet in teaching aspects of Mathematics.
What
makes Easy Guide on Word and Excel made Easy for Secondary
Schools and Tertiary Institutions outstanding is that it guides the user to
easily perform a task in Word or Excel and learn something new in Word or Excel. It is therefore hoped that these books will be
found useful in numerous ways in diverse places/organizations/schools where Word and Excel are paramount to their success.
