Our most recent assignment(s), the revised paragraphs and the newsletter were more difficult than I expected. Nonetheless, I learned some more things that Microsoft word can do. It also made me realize how much I hate Word 2007. I just don't get it. The layout is confusions and about 98% different than Word 2003. I wish they would just go back to that platform.

Either way, it was sweet learning about the column break in Word. For some reason the word on my computer does not do that. I cannot recall any teachers in my high school making newsletter but I'm sure a time will come where I will have to make one.

Also, revising and adding comments to the paragraph was cool. It reminded me a lot of Google Docs (which is an AWESOME way to peer review papers). Now that I know Microsoft word can do similar actions I will definitely use it more as I continue down my long and winding road of academia.

The Rubric Assignment

The rubric assignment was so awesome because we were able to use and learn Rubistar. What an awesome tool! It was very helpful and easy to use and I am sure that I will implement it in my future classrooms. This class is nice because I am learning about so many different tools for teachers that are available online.
