Using the Microsoft (MOAC) IT Academy Resources
You always have something to do in this class. If you find yourself with
nothing to do, you should work on the ongoing assignments. Mostly, this
means preparing to pass the MOS exams. The Microsoft IT
Academy, GMetrix software, and the MOS 2010 Study Guide are the tools
that will help you pass the MOS exam on your first try.
Using the Microsoft IT Academy Resources
Microsoft Word 2010, Excel 2010, PowerPoint 2010, and Access 2010 study
resources may be found on My Microsoft IT Academy Web.
Complete these assignments for the application (Word 2010, PowerPoint
2010, or Excel 2010) you are working on:
Hint: It may be easier to tile the windows so the online textbook is on the
top of the screen and the application (Word 2010, PowerPoint 2010, or Excel
2010) is on the bottom.
Microsoft Word 2010, Excel 2010, PowerPoint 2010, and Access 2010 study
resources may be found on My Microsoft IT Academy Web.
Hint: The data files needed to complete some of the Step by Step activities
and assessments may be found S:\MS IT ACADEMY\(Word, PowerPoint, or
Excel) 2010\Data Files\Lesson #.
1. Open a chapter (start with chapter 1) of the online textbook for your
application (Word 2010, PowerPoint 2010, or Excel 2010) found on My
Microsoft IT Academy Web.
2. Read the chapter and complete the Step by Step activities. Save Step by
Step files to the application folder (Word 2010, PowerPoint 2010, or Excel
2010) under your user folder (mhs0##), where ## is your user name.
3. Hint: The Knowledge Assessments you find in the chapters are the
questions you are likely to see on your chapter assessment. These will be
combined with vocabulary and graded as assessments.
4. Complete each chapter Competency Assessment. Save any files to the
application folder (Word 2010, PowerPoint 2010, or Excel 2010) under your
user folder (mhs0##), where ## is your user name. These are graded as
projects.
5. Complete each chapter Proficiency Assessment. Save any files to the
application folder (Word 2010, PowerPoint 2010, or Excel 2010) under your
user folder (mhs0##), where ## is your user name. These are graded as labs.
6. Complete each chapter Mastery Assessment. Save any files to the
application folder (Word 2010, PowerPoint 2010, or Excel 2010) under your
user folder (mhs0##), where ## is your user name. These are graded as
assessments.
7. Complete the above steps for each chapter of the application (Word
2010, PowerPoint 2010, or Excel 2010) that you are working on.

Using the GMetrix Training and Testing Modules
You always have something to do in this class. If you find yourself with nothing to do,
you should work on the ongoing assignments. Mostly, this means preparing to pass the MOS
exams. The Microsoft IT Academy, GMetrix software, and the MOS 2010 Study Guide are the
tools that will help you pass the MOS exam on your first try. Using the GMetrix System
The GMetrix application allows students to learn and practice Office 2010 applications
(Word 2010, PowerPoint 2010, or Excel 2010). Each application has three levels of Training
and Testing modes. Level one is the easiest and level three is more complex. Once you reach
the point where you are scoring 85% or better on a level, you are ready to move to the next
level. Once you are scoring 85% or better on level 3 Testing, you are ready to take the actual
MOS exam for certification through Microsoft Corporation.
