Week 4

Through using Microsoft Word I will be able to better communicate with my students and their parents. My students will receive different assignments and worksheets in class that I have created using Microsoft Word.

I will be able to create documents using Word that will inform my students' parents of many different events. I will send them an outline of the students' curriculum, field trips, assemblies, and any other important information.

I will use Microsoft Word as one of my rotations in my classroom. I will use it to help my students learn to type. They will type their spelling words and stories they've written. They will be introduced to typing through using Microsoft Word.

Microsoft Word is a very convenient tool to use within a classroom. It provides many different options of fonts, colors, and sizes. Something that is difficult when using Word is that it tends to overcorrect documents being made, which can be very frustrating. All in all, it's a good resource to use while teaching and in everyday life.

The videos for this week really made me think. Education must grow and develop. Shifts need to take place as the world is changing and technology is taking over. Students need new and exciting ways of learning to stay interested in their subjects. The themes of these videos were, "Shift Happens" and "Force Teachers to Move." I don't think there are any other words to better describe what needs to take place.
