I really liked using Microsoft Publisher. I have used it before for projects back in middle school and high school so it was not a completely foreign program to me, but since there have been updates to the program since then, the layout of the program was slightly different. I really liked using Publisher for the newsletter. I feel that this program is a wonderful tool for teachers. I would be very interested in using it for newsletters for my future classroom. I think that monthly or weekly newsletters are a wonderful idea because it can help teachers keep the parents involved in what is going on in the classroom.
I also really liked Sign Up Genius. I think that it was so easy to use and it prompted you every step of the way to make the process easy. I thought it was cute that there were different layouts to choose from because it made the page look fun and exciting. I would definitely consider using this in my future classroom because it is easier than printing out 20-30 copies of sign up sheets to hand out to parents. I think that this website is a wonderful idea!
I'm wondering if you checked out any other features on publisher other than the newsletter template. It sounds like you've had some experience-- do you think your students (someday) would use it for some educational task?
ReplyDeleteI have done at a few other things on there like brochures and greeting cards. I really like publisher and I think that it would be cool to someday have my students use it for an educational task.
