All About The Dream Team Welcome to The Dream Team Simulation The Dream Team is a fun and exciting Microsoft Offi ce sports marketing simulation designed to let you (the student) be the owner of your own professional sports team. As the Microsoft Offi ce Sports Marketing Specialist and team owner, this simulation will give you an in-depth, real-world view of what it’s like to use Microsoft Offi ce software to design and create documents for the new professional sports team (franchise) you are about to begin. After creating your team name and logo, your mission will be to build the team’s identity, fi ll a team roster, track player’s salaries and ticket sales, publicize your team, and much more. From letters to spreadsheets, to presentations, databases, and publications, your offi ce skills will be challenged as you get your team ready for the start of the upcoming season. The opening game is just around the corner, so start thinking creatively and sharpen your design pencils—it’s time to begin The Dream Team. Who Should Use This Book?

This simulation is designed to allow students to use and apply their Microsoft Offi ce knowledge and skills in an integrated, creative, and fun setting. Your Role as the Microsoft Office Sports Marketing Specialist As the Microsoft Offi ce Sports Marketing Specialist, you will assume the role of a professional sports team owner. As the owner, you will be required to create a professional sports team franchise that you would like to own and operate. For your dream team to achieve success in the pro-sports league you will soon be choosing, you will create a series of documents that will give your team a professional image. By completing the projects in this simulation, you will fi ne-tune your offi ce, creativity, and design skills and learn what it is like to promote a real product—your own sports team! 2 The DREAM Team The DREAM Team Dream_Team_BOOK_DRAFT_2.indb 2 Dream_Team_BOOK_DRAFT_2.indb 2 3/3/2009 1:49:05 PM 3/3/2009 1:49:05 PM Dream Team Dream Team Introduction Introduction 2. The Story Behind This Simulation 2. The Story Behind This Simulation Teenagers around the nation are in a complete frenzy trying to become the latest winner of one of fi ve winning scratch-off lottery tickets found on the back of Champion’s breakfast cereal. Each winner gets the opportunity to become the owner of a new professional sports franchise team of their choice. After purchasing one of the few boxes of Champion’s breakfast cereal left on the shelf, you excitedly scratch your ticket to see if you are the latest winner in The Dream Team Contest. You can’t believe your eyes! Your ticket says: “WINNER, WINNER, WINNER!” You are the winner of your own professional sports franchise. You choose the sport, you choose the team name, you select the players…it’s all up to you! That’s where The Dream Team simulation comes into play. Who is Joe Gendron? Joe Gendron is an eleventh grade student from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and a huge football fan. He plays football on the varsity team, gets good grades, and wants to go to college to study business some day. When Joe realized he was the grand prize winner of the scratch- off lottery ticket from the back of his cereal box, he knew his dreams of owning football’s newest expansion team were fi nally coming true. As you travel through the projects in this simulation, you will be guided by Joe as he creates his own “dream team.” Following each project, you will see a page titled “On The Field with Joe Gendron.” These pages contain samples of the documents that Joe has created. You can use Joe’s samples as a guide to help you develop and create your own. 3. Meet Joe Gendron: A “Dream Team” 3.

To help you better accomplish your work, however, Project Planning Forms are included in a folder on The Dream Team Resource CD. It is recommended that you complete the planning forms prior to beginning each project. These planning forms give you a framework in which to begin “mapping out” a project’s content, design, and layout on paper fi rst. ���������� ��������� �������� ������ ������ ��������� ����� ��� ��� ��� Team Roster Selecting players for your team ����������� ������������ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� ������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������ ����������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� ����������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� ������������������������������������������������������������������� ���� ���� The DREAM Team PG-3 ������������� ����������� ��� �������������������������������������������������� ��� �������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� ��������������������������� �������������������������������������� �������������� ������������������������� ������������ ��������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� ������������������ ������������������������������������������������������������������� ���� ���� The DREAM Team Equipment Inventory List Managing your equipment inventory for the training facility W-5 ������������� ����������� ��������������� ���������������������� �������������������� ���������������������� ���������� ��������� ���������������������� ��������������� ������������������������ ������������ ����������������� �������������� ������������������ ����������� ��������������������� ������������������ ������������������� ������������ ��������������� �������������������� ��������� ������������ ����������������������� �������������� ������������ �������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� ������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������ ���������������������������������������������������������������������� ������������������������������������������������������������������� ���� ���� The DREAM Team Player Personnel Form Creating a document for gathering player information W-6 ������������� Data Recording: Tables corresponding to the data needed for completing a project.
