Post #2

I’ve been using MS Word since I was in Middle School. We used it to type papers, to make signs and banners. Since middle school, I use it almost on a weekly basis to make outlines, write papers, and take notes in class. MS Word is the Microsoft Office application I use the most. I seen my teachers use MS Word in the same way that I do. As a visual way to instruct on how to do things, outlines of the plans for the days class, instructions on how papers are to be done. My teachers also use MS Word, to make their syllabi, and other assignments.

Before reading Chapter 9 I had no idea that teachers used MS word to make tests and newsletters. I learned how you could use bullets and numbered lists, tables, and links to the internet to improve the look and organization of your newsletter or newspaper. Also, to make sure you utilize the spell check feature to correct anything you may have over looked. Importing graphs and information from other applications, allows you to add even more elements to your file.

I think the Newsletter so far was my favorite part of this class. I felt that because my interest in the education field is based on my passion to open a school, a newsletter would be imperative to the success of my school. I loved the newsletter assignment and found it extremely gratifying and exciting to complete, this is something that I know I will use in my school, to inform parents and students of what is going on around the campus.
