*Project 5*

The intention of this project was to teach the class that there are many different ways to use Microsoft Word. Before this project I only thought of using Microsoft Word when I needed to write a paper. Now I know that I can use it to create just about anything; worksheets, handouts, flash cards, tests and name tags.

During this project we learned how to use word art, boarders and charts. For the first part of the project we used word art to create our names with description words. I found this activity to be very fun and I think children would too. When you make a project personal, it always catches the student’s attention. While creating my name I learned how to change the font, color, style and shape of the word art. After we finished our name, we had to create a handout. I decided to make mine about “beach day” at school. This was an informative parent handout. We learned how to create interesting boarders with Microsoft Word. The last part of the project was creating a type of trading card. I made mine into flash cards to help students with their counting skills. We simple took a chart and made it into the cards, very simple task with an extremely effective outcome.

 <>I know that I was make good use of these features when I have my own classroom. I have used Microsoft Word many times but I had no idea that you could do so much with the program. I enjoy learning about technology because it is such a time saver for teachers. It is so easy to save items and then come back to them and revise it and use it again.
