Using Microsoft Word in the Classroom

MSWord is a very handy piece of software that can be used in several different ways in any classroom. What are some ways that we could use Word in our classroom?

Create neat lab sheets

Write a letter, address the envelope, or create labels for mass mailings

Creating an outline for students to study for an exam

Create book review templates

Create a newsletter

Create a test

Make a flier or sign

Create a brochure/pamphlet

Create a research report

Make an assignment sheet

Create a neat seating chart using a digital camera

Create your teacher web page

Create your curriculum online web lesson or webquest

I feel sure that if we would continue to brainstorm, we could come up with many more ideas.

In this workshop we will concentrate on how Microsoft Word can be used, but particularly how Word can be made into a newsletter as a study guide, as a student report, or as a communication document. How about using a newsletter as a book report?

The following guidelines need to be followed in order to receive your six (6) hours of credit:

You will be given very specific ideas that need to be included in your newsletter.

After you complete your newsletter, you will send it to me as an attachment.

You will need to teach your students how to create a newsletter.

You will need to complete all the other general on line requirements as well.

Only after that has been accomplished will you receive your professional development credit.
