For Module 2 I set a goal for myself to become more comfortable using Word. I normally use iWork Pages. Some of the skills specifically I wanted to work on for week 1 were alignment, indents, and the use of columns.
Each week I make a newsletter for my students. I thought I would make a version of my newsletter in Word this week. I recorded my screen to show my progress. My newsletters can tend to take some time to make, because of this I only recorded the first minutes of making the newsletter. In the recording, I first practice and work on navigating through Word Art to create my title. Then I practice adding and making changes to four text boxes. Next I work on adding a text box where the text uses two columns. This was something that I could get to work easily in this video. I after some trials without using the screen recording, I came up with a solution to create the look I wanted. I edited the newsletter by keeping the text in columns, but without the text box around it. Then I practiced adding a table into the newsletter for a homework schedule. I wanted to fill the title boxes only with color. Also not in the video I added more rows and columns to the table and a Word Art title for the homework schedule.
