Word in the classroom

Today I would like discuss using word in the classroom.
I believe that word will be a very valuable tool in the classroom. It could be used in a wide variety of ways starting with using word to draft up a weekly or monthly newsletter to be sent home to the parents to help keep them informed of the on goings in their child's classroom.
We will have our students use word when we ask them to write research papers for class so it is imperative that our students understand the basic concepts of using word.
Yet another use for word processing will be for developing the rubrics that we will use to grade our student's assignments. This will be very important information for our students so that they understand what we are expecting of them on their assignments.
Word is valuable and much needed in today's classrooms.

Regards,
Dean
