Module 2- Week 1

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.
