Microsoft Access: Teaching By Example

ImageIf you are one of those rare high schools across the country that uses Microsoft Access to teach relational database principles, you might want to try using a simplified approach when conveying the main idea behind these principles.

By this, I mean that for years we have been seeing textbooks recommend that only through the creation of complicated tables, queries, and reports do students develop an understanding of how databases function in the Access database environment.

In reality, this is probably the worst way to help students understand how relational databases function. A more simiplified approach is often needed. Students often grasp what you mean when you use a 40 minute class to demonstrate how to set up a simple coin, comic, or baseball card collection.

The key is to focus on presenting a shortened table, an abbreviated query, and finally a report using the wizard function. This really makes the most sense and within 10 to 15 minutes shows students exactly what access is used for in the world of work.

 
Welcome to Inquire Within!

Thank you for visiting the Inquire.net family of websites. This location is the central hub for all activity Mr. Batira runs through the FDR as well as a testbed hodge podge of necessary hosting for related school activities connected with courses taught at the high school.  

The Inquire Within website is run with a type of software called Content Management Systems (or CMS), you'll probably know at least three things: CMS are the most exciting way to do business, CMS can be really, I mean really, complicated and lastly Portals are absolutely, outrageously, often unaffordably expensive.

Joomla! is a type of Python scripting program (PHP) which runs on the internet and lets dynamic content be generated much easier that static pages. The benefits of PHP programs over standard HTML, DHTML, and coldfusion scripts is that it is easy to install, yet robust enough to allow for fast web page parsing.

Newsflash

While running across various information about web content and the future of e-commerce, I discovered this interesting point of comparison from Microsoft.com.

In light of the fact my E-commerce students will be creating a series of non-profit volunteer websites showcasing local businesses from Hyde Park, New York. Why not take a look at what the commercial sites like Microsoft offer to businesses as a solution to setting up an online store.
