I have been using MS word since elementary school. It was mainly used to learn to type small papers and assignments that we were assigned. The times that my teachers used it was usually behind the scenes. They never really used it where we could see but I'm sure it was used for handouts and other material that they gave us.
There where several points made in chapter 9 that I had either used previously or have had teachers use in the classroom. One area that caught my attention in particular was the concept of decided when to get a new computer. This is not the easiest thing to decide but it will be easier when I figure out what I will be using my computer for!
I was just recently introduced to the new MS Word. I have always used the older version and that was the one that I was taught how to use. I was very unaware of how the new layout worked and I especially did not realize how many different neat things I could do with the new Word. This class has really exposed me to the many different ways that the program can help me just in my everyday life! I am really excited to see what else I get out of the class that can help me not only in my own classroom but also while I am here as a student.

I've also used Word for small assignments. I agree with you that our teachers probably used Word often, we just didn't know it!
ReplyDeleteI agree with using the new MS Word. I was so used to old version that I was unaware of all the enw things that you could do with it. I am excited to learn all the cool things that you can do with Word in this class.
ReplyDeleteThe new word is very extensive and has alot more features and details than the older version of word that i have been used to since this class. It is alot of information to take in with all the new tools but i can tell they are only there to help.
ReplyDeleteAmanda,
ReplyDeleteI have also been using MS Word since elementary school. It is amazing how young students we were expected to use computers. Today, kids use computers at even younger ages and so it is very helpful for them to know how to use them :)
