Prompt/ Post #2

I have used Microsoft numerous times as a student. I have used Microsoft 2000 and 2003 for numerous research papers and I just recently finished my the CGS computer class at FSU and really learned a lot about Microsoft 2007. I feel like each time I open a document on 2007 I learn something else that is more useful and that I will be able to use this in the future as well. I love using microsoft word and I now use it as a resident assistant to make my flyers for my dorm. My teachers use it to make documents for permission slips and different papers that need a parent or guardian signature when I was in gradeschool. As for college, my professors and teaching assistants use it to type notes and post on Blackboard so that we may have access to the notes they need us to print or if they would like us to print them.

In the future I feel like I will use MS Word to type up newsletters to parents as well as make permission slips and hw assignments along with tests. I feel like the things you can do on microsoft word are endless and pretty much anything I want to do for my students can be done using word. I think that word is an excellent tool for teaching in the future and that everyone of any age needs to know at least the basics for using word to further their education or other people/childrens educations.

So far something I learned on Microsoft word was how to properly format a test and make a newsletter template where I can add in names of separate students and their parents and guardians. I feel like both of these skills I will use in the future and i already feel like I;m going to get even that much more out of this corse.
