Business and Technology
Course Description:
How is technology used to solve business problems and communicate
solutions? Business and Technology is designed to prepare students
with the knowledge and skills to be an asset to the collaborative, global,

spreadsheets and the ability to apply leadership skills to make informed
business decisions will be a highlight of this course for students.
Publishing industry appropriate documents to model effective
communication and leadership will be demonstrated through project
based learning. Students will use spreadsheet and database software to
manage data while analyzing, organizing and sharing data through
visually appealing presentation. Various forms of technologies will be

business practices. Professional communication skills and practices,
problem solving, ethical and legal issues, and the impact of effective
presentation skills are enhanced in this course to prepare students to be
college and career ready. Employability skills are integrated into
activities, tasks, and projects throughout the course standards to
demonstrate the skills required by business and industry. Competencies
