When I was in middle school, I remember using Microsoft Works for all my assignments and my teachers use this application as well. I don't think Word was available on my computer at home until I got to high school and my mom decided to update the computer and add the Internet. In high school, my teachers used Word for everything and they made sure every student in the class was familiar with Times New Roman, 1" margins, and a 12 font for all of our assignments or else points would Be taken off. I remember using MS Word for all my campaign material and the banners I posted for SGA.

I never knew a newsletter could be created on MS Word. I guess I kind of under estimated the application by limiting myself to just the basics of a document. Briefing through chapter 9, I learned that there is truly a TOO OLD hardware. For instance, if your computer continues to crash and cannot upload new drives then that maybe a sign that the computer is TOO OLD. The average lifespan on a computer is three years old...YES that sounds expensive but technology doesn't wait for adaptations it just continues to improve.

Education is all about informing and enlightening people who do not now. With that being said, I honestly believe the news letter will be efficient in helping me with my career as a n educator. I am a hands on learner as well as visual and when my teachers passed out a syllabus or a rubric, I remember feeling overwhelmed. However, when the passed out newsletters weekly or monthly with major projects listed I felt competent and knowledgeable about the "happenings" in my class. I want my students to be aware and updated all the time!
