Module 2A-4: Activity 5 Spreadsheets for administrative purposes: Recordbook‏

11-12-11

Working with excel spreadsheet was quite a task for me. The formulae were not coming out the way they should have, even after clicking on the help option in the pop up box, that came up everytime the formulae were just not working.

I however saw that once there is some general understanding with time I would be able to to redo a recordbook and have it all downpack.

I believe it is a very helpful tool for administrative purposes due to the fact that everything would be added up for you once the formulae are correctly inputted.

Group 2A-4, Activity 4B - Integrating the word processor

06-12-11

The word processor is a very interesting tool for students to use as they learn. It not only makes writing (typing) easier, but it also helps in checking spelling, deleting errors and retyping information. As a result, whatever task there is to complete students may use the features or functions of word processor to do so.

However, one must remember we may never learn all there is to know about the word processor, but it doesn't hurt to start learning to use it now, as it may increase learning on a whole in different disciplines.

Group 2A-4, Activity 3: Word processor for lesson preparation (Classroom materials)

1-12-11

The use of word processor for preparing classroom materials is a very tedious but fulfilling task. It may at times be easier to think of what you want to do, than to actually write it. However, whether it's creating a test, designing an activity sheet or simply organising and sending notes to your students word processor is an excellent tool.

I believe although we use the 'normal' Microsoft Office programmes, there are still other programmes that exist with a lot more features that may assist us in preparing lessons in the classroom.

I hope that on completion of this module that we will have gained from the experience of using 'word processor' by attempting the activities, working on the assignments, sharing documents and information via different mediums and collaborating among each other, through all this.
