Post Number 2

As a student, I've used Microsoft Word in various ways. I've written papers for different classes or typed notes from chapters that were assigned to read from these classes. I've seen my teachers use Microsoft Word in different ways as well. Some of them have used it to make tests, while others use it to make study guides which they distribute to the class. Many of my teachers have also used it to write letters at the beginning of the year and for different updates throughout the year.

As a teacher, I have different ideas as to how I want to utilize Microsoft Word. At various points throughout the school year, I will have my students do research papers and they will have to use a word processing program such as Microsoft Word. I also plan to write letters to parents, make tests and study guides, and even possibly teach my students more about Microsoft Word by having tutorials different times throughout the course.

So far in the class, I have learned how to use print screen and mail merge. Print screen will come in handy for demonstrations and tutorials, which I will probably do throughout the year. Mail merge will be very useful in making class labels and distributing letters to parents. I like the skills I have learned so far in the class and plan to make the best use of them throughout my teaching career.
