Hello!
This is my very first post on my very own blog - how exciting!
I really enjoyed the assignment for creating a newsletter. I am going to be teaching high school business, so this activity is something I will really use. During my first field experience, I was with a teacher that taught only computer classes and one of the classes was Word. So for one of my lessons I decided to have the students create their own Word advertisement. They could choose anything they wanted such as babysitting services and lawn mowing. Previously the students only worked out of the book and they didn't get a chance to use their creativity. The feedback I received from this activity was great! I kids really loved being able to "play" around in Word with colors, fonts and clip art. So the activity we did for this Ashland class fits right in line with what I will be teaching. I'm glad I was able to learn a little more about Word 2007, as I'm not as familiar with the current version as I should be.
