PRODUCTIVITY
TOOLS : APPLICATION
TECHNIQUES
LEARNING OBJECTIVES :
At the end of the lesson, you will be able to
use common productivity tools effectively by maximizing advanced application techniques;

identify the various productivity and software applications that can be applied to a specific
professional track.;

identify the different techniques in using advanced productivity tools that can be applied to a
specific professional track;

synthesize the use of different ICT productivity tools; and

create a presentation that demonstrates how common productivity applications or software are
applicable to a specific professional track.
 Let’s check your knowledge in ICT
Productivity Tools.

Read each item carefully. And

choose the best answer.
Productivity tools are programs that
people use to create documents,

A spreadsheet is application
software that may provide
many tools to organize,
manage and compute data
easily.

easily because of the Function Library.

Formulas :
• Financial
• Logical
• Statistical
• Engineering
• Math and Trigonometric Functions
 Where can
spreadsheet software
be used ? Creating Complex Formulas – All spreadsheet
software programs compute formulas based on
the following order of operations :

1. Operations enclosed in parenthesis

2. Exponential computations (e.g., 4^2
3. Multiplication and division
4. Addition and Subtraction
 Where can
spreadsheet software
be used ? Presentations - Files and illustrations can be
added to the worksheet to clearly explain some
contents. In the Insert menu, you can add
pictures, shapes, charts, tables and files. Tables
and charts can be made instantly once you enter
the data.
 Where can
spreadsheet software
be used ? Inserting an object in your spreadsheet –
Object Linking and Embedding (OLE), an
important feature of spreadsheets like Excel and
other software applications to include content
from other programs, such as files or documents
from a word processor.
 How can spreadsheet
software help you in your
everyday life?

sequence of slides called slide
presentations to bring your message
to your attendance.

On the other hand, a slide
