For my first module, I am working on learning more options for Word. Each week I send out a parent newsletter summarizing skills we have covered. My plan was to reformat my newsletter (currently it is just a page of paragraphs with a heading preceding it) into columns and sections. My homeroom students see two main academic teachers, myself and the teacher who teaches in the room behind me. We each have sections in our homeroom newsletter for the other to write and summarize work that has been done in our particular classes.
This newsletter as you will notice is not complete due to the fact that we didn't have school on Friday and I was not at school to access all of the information I wanted to include. The format, however, is in place.
I was excited to discover some new, simple things that I could do easily in Word. The neatest thing I've discovered is using the current date and time in the header. I wish I had know about this before. It's the perfect thing for a weekly newsletter. The best part of it is the update feature. The date will automatically update for me! I love it.
I used the help feature to learn about automatic page numbering, turning on and off automatic formatting and using tabs.
