In the business world Microsoft Access (a database) is used for billing customers, keeping track of inventory, creating statistics on consumer preferences. You can store large amounts of data, access it quickly and use filters and queries to find only the data you need. Scientists, government workers, and law enforcement use it to create statistics, make predictions, and even match finger prints. Computerized card catalogs in libraries are databases that allow you to quickly find books or articles on a certain topic. Databases are widely used in many industries, but students are not usually taught to use them. Microsoft Access often scares people because of the complex tasks it can perform. However, if it is use in its simplest form, students can understand and use it easily. I have used it with students from grades 3-8. They do scavenger hunts, map skills activities, scientific data collection and analysis, simulations, and more. This required me to create curriculum related databases. They are now part of a book entitled Database Magic published ISTE. (available through ISTE.org & Amazon.com) This book shows you how you can make a simple database using Access. It includes 16 databases in the science, social studies, language arts, and history areas. Ready-to-use worksheets are also provided. It is a fun way to help students to learn a skill that is so necessary for their futures. Sandra Dounce , Sandrad731@comcast.net

∙ 12y agoAccess is a computer program that is used to store, manage, view and publish information or data. One of the key advantages of Access over other Microsoft problems is its search capabilities. For example, after storing your friends' names, addresses, phone numbers, ages and birthdays in Access, you can search just for the ones living on Main Street and birthdays on August 14. Once you know the names of your August 14 friends you can then print them as a telephone book or email the list to each of them. Another advantage of Access is that it can send your data to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and to MapPoint to create maps showing where all of your friends live or work. Unlike other Microsoft programs, Access requires that you learn a few things about computer programming. Out of the box, you cannot enter your information like you can with Word, Excel or PowerPoint. A great way to get started with Access is to download a sample database from the Microsoft website. The Northwind database does a lot but some of the simple Access templates may be where to start. Have fun!
