Please refer to Week 12 MS Word Class Schedule

What?  

Use MS Word to create some WordArt acrostics, create educational handouts with border, shading or fill effect, and make trading cards. Publish these three products to your eportfolio website. AND HAVE FUN!  

You are going to create two products using MS Word.

Product #1 Wordart Acrostic

Product #2 Creating educationl handouts with border, shading or fill effect

Why?

Language arts curriculums that integrate web resources and multimedia programs have more potential to engage students than traditional classroom activities.

How?

The instructor will demonstrate, and the students will follow and practice in a step by step manner. Then the students will work in pairs and create their own products. Publish the two products to your eportfolio website.
