Learn It! 

Before you begin working with Access, it is really important to have an understanding of what Access is and how it might be used.  Therefore, we are going to spend a some time exploring and learning more about Access through a online tutorial. 


You'll also need to download the "Learn It" Word document below. On this document, you'll paste screenshots to prove that you've accomplished the task described. You can use the Snipping Tool or the Print Screen button to take screen shots. Although no screenshots are necessary for Lessons 1 and 2, it is still necessary to go through the lesson. The lesson 3 screenshot is already done for you as an example of how to do this. 


Be sure to download and save the sample database when you get to page 1 of Lesson 3. You will use this database to experiment with concepts introduced throughout the lessons.


Click here to get started with the tutorials!  You should complete Lessons 1 - 11 and then upload your final Word document to Edmodo.
