PUBLISHER

- How do you feel about Desktop Publishing? We have created a brochure and a resume. What else do you think we can do with Desktop Publishing? If you have to create one thing for your classroom, what would you create by using Publishing and why?

Using Publisher 2007 was a new and beneficial experience. I just started a new job where they consistently work with this program, and I feel as though it is by far a better program than Microsoft Word. There were many templates to choose from, along with a variety of colors, fonts, styles, graphics, etc. This program seems to exceed Microsoft Word with what all it has to offer. Besides a resume and brochure, I think a newsletter would be really interesting to utilize in the classroom, and would enjoy learning how to create one. I would create either a brochure, or a weekly newsletter if I could choose only one thing to use from Desktop Publisher.

- Is there any muddy point that you need to review?
I would be interested to learn all of the functions of this program, because I am sure there are many more I am not familiar with. This program can be used easily and efficiently, and I believe Publisher has been the best thing we have learned to use in the classroom so far in ETEC 424!

- How did you feel about creating a brochure this week?
Creating this brochure was a simple, and very useful thing to do. I really enjoyed creating it, and feel as though by giving these out on "Parent Night" or "Meet the Teacher Night," the parents and students can get better aquainted with me, my expectations, my experience, and my goals for their children. BEST THING I HAVE LEARNED YET :)
