Documents
The Documents module provides students with the word processing skills necessary to create, format and finalise a document for printing or sharing.
Word processing is a life skill! It can be used at school, home, or in the workplace. Knowing how to organise information in a document allows students to convey a message effectively.
The Documents module provides students with the skill to complete a vast range of assignments such as essays, reports, research summaries, newsletters and biographies. It also can be applied to personal and work-related tasks. Whether it is creating a CV or making a poster to promote a school event, most tasks that use technology, require word processing. It is an essential skill that every student needs to master, both for learning and their future career.
