Blog #2

I used Microsoft Word all the time in high school. It is probably the most used computer program throughout my education. I've used it to write countless papers and essays, to make fliers for organizations, or projects like a newspaper for history. I've seen my teachers use it to make tests, newsletters, forms, study guides, and countless other things.
From the book I liked the idea of using Word for organizational things like outlines. I could probably use this in my classroom to make outlines of units and chapters for my students. I know it's helpful for me if I have something laid out in from of that kind of breaks down what I'm learning into smaller parts.
The one really new thing I learned in class so far was the mail merge function. I had no idea what it even was when it was first mentioned, but now that I know how to use it I think it would be really helpful for a teacher.
