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, and innovative business world of today and tomorrow. Mastery use of

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 used to expose students to resources, software, and applications

of 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 in the co-curricular student organization, Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA),

are integral components of the employability skills standard for this course.
