Microsoft Word has been my number one use of technology for the past 1o years. I have written numerous essays, research papers, and small homework assignments all on MS word. Teachers use it to make quizzes, lectures, and to make syllabi's. I am pretty good at using Microsoft since that was the primary word document to turn in assignments. It has played a huge role on my educational career. MS word is better than any type of word-pad document because it gives you so many options and tools to make the perfect paper.

Chapter 9 really analyzes a wide array of MS uses that can be helpful when becoming a teacher. You can make a newspaper, make a clean quiz, and make a fact sheet with different types of bullets. These are all examples of what you can do as a teacher to make what you want clear to your students. The newspaper is a great tool for teachers because it is helpful for parents who like to know what is going on in their child's classroom.

So far, I acquired so many new skills I didn't know were possible on MS word that I will definitely be using in my everyday life let alone my educational career. I learned how to make borders, quizzes, copy and paste pictures, alignment shortcuts, how to insert a header/footer, how to change margins, how to make cool bullets, and how to insert the date and time into a document. Most of those skills I had never performed before! It is awesome learning new skills, especially about MS word because it is such a great part of my life. All of these new techniques will play such a big role in my educational career because I can make a perfect quiz using MS and I can make it look clean and appealing.
