Designed to give teachers and supervisors a working knowledge of various approaches to enhancing pupil learning through software application programs, this guide is presented in a hands-on fashion. It supports a dual purpose, i.e., it can serve as an individual tutorial or as a turnkey staff development tool. All program files referred to may be found on the companion data disk. The five chapters of this manual present: (1) an introduction to AppleWorks; (2) word processing; (3) database management; (4) spreadsheet analysis; and (5) graph generation. Each chapter includes an overview, a statement of objectives, and a tutorial. The text is supplemented by various figures, and appendixes provide supporting materials, including a glossary and a questionnaire for evaluating the guide. (EW)
