Prerequisite: Proficiency in keyboarding and computer file management
Business Computer Information Systems I (BCIS I) is a full-year class
that gives students a working knowledge of technology and prepares them
to be proficient in business applications using advanced computer software.
This program uses individualized and group instruction to assist students
in gaining business skills. Microsoft Office Professional allows students
the opportunity to learn Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and Access. BCIS I places
an emphasis on advanced word processing skills including document formatting,
desktop publishing, integration of software, and multimedia presentations.
This course satisfies the state technology credit required for graduation.
Three hours of credit through Collin County Community College may be awarded
to students earning a grade of 80 or above. Students must complete 6 hours
of credit at Collin County Community College and be enrolled in the Tech

Prerequisite: None
Keyboarding can make the difference in preparing the student for today
as well as for the future. Keyboarding I is designed to develop correct
techniques using the touch system with functional speed and accuracy.
The student will be able to format simple letters and reports and develop
critical file management techniques. This one-semester course is for all
students to develop and apply hands-on keyboarding skills, which are important,
both personally and in the workplace. It is highly recommended that a
student enroll in Keyboarding to develop the skills needed for BCIS, Web
Mastering, Multimedia and Desktop Publishing. This course does NOT fulfill
the technology applications requirement for graduation.
