I use MS word quite often as a student. I am constantly using it to write papers. I also use it to form lists, calenders, posters, and invitations. It is easy for my teacher to read my papers since they are typed. My teachers use it to type and print something out all the time. Or they will project their outline of the material using MS word. THey even create newsletters using word.

Word allows anyone to manipulate words. You can change the font, color, size, style. Teachers also use it to make newsletters and to make information easier to read for students. Also teachers can create a mail merge with word. THis would allow them to send out an e-mail to all of their students but be personally named for them.

I think all the skills will be useful for when I become a teacher. I really like the idea of mail merging. Also it was nice to learn how to create a newletter without using a predesigned template. Format painter was also a good tool to learn for when I need words to be the same font and color. I knew most of the stuff we had already learned but it was a nice refreaher to go over it again.
