I give credit to my team mates, Margaret and Amina with whom I have collaborated so far. I have learnt a lot from you - taking orderliness, neatness, clear thought processes, subject mastery and insightful use of the Microsoft word from Margaret, and the meticulous use of tabulated illustrative detail from Amina, I am a better stronger more forceful teacher. Thank you team mates.
I have been working at two levels: first, as a learner, creating documents and as a peer editor, having to evaluate another's work. It culminated into a self examination!
With Microsoft Windows, I was able to create text, embed a link, list and number my work, cut, copy, paste, highlight text, create titles and sub titles and many more. The challenge I set my self was to create a text box in which I could wrap a text to make it more distinct. I succeeded!
Microsoft Power point is a power indeed. It simply unleashed my creativity! My windows 8 had pre-formed templates which helped me to emphasize key points and stimulate interest. I was able to incorporate photographs and images and customize them. I was able to re-order my slides , play around with colour, different fonts and different sizes.The challenge I set myself was to make my slides powerful, colourful, memorable and make a point about the Nobel Prize. I did it!
I was encouraged to let my students make use of the Note-makng app -OneNote amd also challenged them to create their own power point presentations!
The Microsoft suite has everything in one bucket. It no doubt is best suited for technology integration in the classroom, because of its versatility!
Nice work Nellie. I think for us using windows 7 we are missing a lot of apps. Nice to here that you had an active collaborative group.

ReplyDeleteSure Twaha, each time they release a window, they add more functions to the window and we need to keep on updating our selves with the latest edition where possible to be at par.
