project overview
In creating the worksheet and chart in this project, students gain a broad knowledge of Excel. First, they are introduced to starting Excel and learn about the Excel window. They find out how to enter text and numbers to create a worksheet. Students discover how to select a range and use the AutoSum button to sum the numbers in a row or column. Using the fill handle, students copy a cell to adjacent cells. Once the worksheet is built, they change the font size of the title, bold the title, and center the title across a range using buttons on the Formatting toolbar. Steps and techniques are presented to format the body of the worksheet using the AutoFormat command. Students use the Chart Wizard to add a 3-D Column chart. After completing the worksheet, they save the workbook on disk, print the worksheet and chart, and quit Excel. Students then start Excel by opening an Excel document, use the AutoCalculate area, and edit data in cells. Finally, students discover how to use the Excel Help system to answer their questions.

Smart Card Technology in Your Wallet

E 1.04

Smart cards can hold the equivalent of 30 typewritten pages of data. Students may be most familiar with smart cards used as keys for hotel rooms. Often, these cards also provide access to hotel services such as cafeterias, swimming pools, lockers, and parking lots. Smart cards also are used as prepaid telephone cards, to track customer information or employee attendance, and to store patient records. As a storage medium for an individual’s medical history, smart cards offer obvious benefits. The cards can be carried in a wallet with, or in lieu of, an insurance card, providing both insurance records and an immediate, up-to-date medical history. A form of smart cards, called Personal Information Carriers (PICs), is being adopted by the army to replace dog tags. Ask students to suggest other ways smart cards could be used. Explain how an intelligent smart card is different from a memory card. Smart cards also can store electronic money (e-money or digital cash) and be used as a means of paying for goods and services over the Internet. Review the history of smart cards. Ask students if smart cards someday will replace conventional currency. Why or why not?
