TEACHING
DATABASE
Teaching Database. Students in Prince William County, Virginia are required
to begin learning database software in grade three, and the biggest challenge
is making it meaningful and relevant. Microsoft Access is a very professional
product, and has many features that will NEVER be needed in the elementary
school setting. Yet, it is not a bad product for the students to begin using.
There is a lot of flexibility for the students.
