How Classes Use Word Processing

The students in the class are doing an interview. They are thinking about interviewing someone in their community.
They learn how to use tape-recorders, and also use a digital camera to take pictures of the people they interview.
The students learn how to edit their photos using print-shop photo pro.
After completing their interviews, the students transcribe their notes from the tape recorder and write and informative paragraph. They then work with a partner to edit their paragraph.
The students then type and save their paragraphs using Microsoft Word 2000. Microsoft word helps them learn how to not only use the computer programs, but also helps them write their paragraphs.
It is interesting how just simple assignments can help students learn how to use technology.
The teacher is trying to get across the idea of professionalism, using Microsoft Word and digital camera, using editing for the digital camera, how to get your information in a usable format.
