Word, Excel, Powerpoint OH MY!

Below is a list of the features I use most often in the following programs.

Word
-Draw Tools (create a line/shape, textbox)
-Word Count
-Formatting Palette (font, list, spacing)
-Zoom In/Out
-Borders

Excel
-Insert/delete row
-Formatting Palette

Powerpoint
-Slides
-Slide Design
-Transitions
-Insert Pictures/Clip Art


Students can learn how to use these programs through simple or complex assignments such as:

Typing up an essay, poem, or story

Excel
Data entry from a class science experiment's information
Data entry from a class survey or other statistics

Powerpoint

Group presentation on a particular topic
Yearbook Presentation-End of the year collaborative classroom Powerpoint that includes pictures and video of different classroom activities and projects that were done that year
