Meriden Public Schools Adult and Continuing Education:
Resource Review: Internet and Microsoft Word*
Teacher:
Marie Sullivan, Another School Program
Type of Resource:
Internet and Microsoft Word (Word Art)
Description:
This past school year my students frequently
used the internet for information gathering for research papers.
For the most part, students were able to acquire substantial information
for their topics. We also used Microsoft Word (Word Art) to create
newspapers as a closure activity for The Crucible and To Kill
a Mockingbird.
How the resource was used in class:
Relates to our studies concerning the diversity
of the USA and the make-up of our nation.
The things I like most about the resource
are as follows:
The source was easy to use and the students seemed more motivated
to find a variety of sources.
Limitations and suggestions to overcome
shortcomings:
One limitation which we found frustrating was
the security which restricted some basic topics of interest for
high school students.
