The students have just finished a unit on internet safety and cyberbullying, as well as learned what a blog is. They will continue to explore the Wordle software on the internet to create a banner they could safely post on a blog. The students will also extend their knowledge by learning how to save, open, edit, and print an image in Microsoft Word. MICROSOFT WORD is a great resource to edit photos, add fun Word Art, type projects, and even add creative flair to presentations. We will be spending the next few weeks exploring Microsoft Word and learning some basic functions that all students should know when operating in Microsoft Word.
