AppleWorks gives you everything you need to publish your work so others can read it. You can incorporate content from one AppleWorks document type into another. For example, you can include a drawing in a word-processing document, a spreadsheet in a drawing, and so on.

Teachers like AppleWorks because it's easy enough for even young students to use, yet robust enough for the teacher's use. Documents created in AppleWorks can be saved from year to year, saving time and effort on the teacher's part. Think of the possibilities:

word-processing documents for letters and newsletters
spreadsheets for keeping student grades and assignments
databases of student information and curriculum projects
drawings and paintings of your classroom or school
presentations for open house or curriculum events

This course teaches you how to use each of these document types to accomplish classroom tasks.

Templates, that are ready for you to modify into your own documents. These include brochures, presentations, signs, flash cards, stationery, and report forms.
Web, that includes AppleWorks resources on the Internet. You'll find news, tips, and more templates that you can open and use. Note that if you have a slow Internet connection, you can click the Stop button in the Web Progress window to stop the download.

The best part about painting is the way it allows you to alter or edit the pictures you create. You can zoom in and change your picture pixel by pixel, change the color of parts of the picture, or transform images. Using painting tools is easy and fun.

The big difference between painting and drawing is that drawing tools create graphic objects with handles that allow you to manipulate the objects, sort of like Post-it notes that you can pick up and move. Objects float above the surface of the document. If you move an object and place it over another object, the other object is still back there. It doesn't go away unless you select and delete it.

Painting, on the other hand, is more like painting on a wall. Once you've created the painting, it is glued to the background. It can be picked up and moved but will leave a blank space behind. As you use painting tools to create a picture, you will see how this happens.
