Practice IT Books 1 & 2 (3rd Edition)

Adobe CS5 Support Files

by Greg Bowden and Kerryn Maguire

The Adobe CS5 Support Files provide more detailed tutorials and worksheets in PDF format using the Adobe CS5 suite (DreamWeaver, FireWorks, Flash, Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop) for the software activities in the Practice IT Books 1 & 2 (third edition) text books published by Cambridge University Press.

http://www.cambridge.edu.au/education/pit

The Adobe CS5 Support Files are aimed at students in years 7 to 10 and can be used separately from the Practice IT text books, but the books do provide projects at the end of each software module and theory modules on computer awareness and the social impacts of computer use.

The Support Files provide teachers with the choice of teaching from the book or giving the more detailed tutorials to students to work through at their own rate, or use a combination of the two approaches.

The CD provides schools with a licence to print as many copies of the tutorials as they want for use within the school, to place the files on their school's network or content management systems and to place the files on staff laptops.

Prices (Including GST)

Products can be purchased using a School Purchase Order Number, Credit Card or PayPal.
