Post # 2

I've used MS numerous times as a student for writing papers, doing homework assignments, taking notes in class and making study guides. MS has been really useful because I can type paper and monitor my word count, margins, ect. I have also been able to bring my computer to class and keep up with fast talking teachers by using MS and bullets. I have also been able to make really effective study guides for several of my classes. I've seen teacher's use MS to post study guides, notes and make assignments.

I would use MS word as a teacher to make newsletters to send home, letters to parents, permission slips, homework assignments, quizzes and tests in class. I could also use MS in the classroom as a reference for note taking.

New skills I have learned in this class include the bullet-making skills, the personalized letter to a classroom of students, how to use clip art, banners, borders, and make columnms. I know these things will all be especially useful in the classroom because teacher's use MS all the time to make the letters, homework assignments, tests and quizzes. It would be very useful to make MS documents that are professional looking and personalized; also MS documents that are easy to grade and easy to read and understand for parents.

A paragraph on new skills you acquired in the class so far that you think will be especially useful to you in your educational career and why you think so.
