All about the Frillio's Pizza DTP Simulation and Web Site:

All kids love pizza! In this case, it's a hands-on pizza-design business simulation that will have your students fully engaged in the desktop publishing process.

Joe Frillio, the owner of Frillio's Pizza, needs the
help of your desktop publishing students. Before
Frillio's Pizza can open its doors for business, there are many documents that need to be created, designed, and printed. In this self-guided business simulation, students create an assortment of pizza restaurant themed documents.

From start to finish, students learn how to apply desktop publishing skills to a real world business.

The workbook integrates with FrilliosPizza.com, a special Web site that gives students access to:

• Free clipart to help them build each document (in association with Clipart.com)

• Download the official Frillio's Pizza logo
