Desktop Publisher

I think that the activities that we did with Desktop Publisher went well. I experienced no difficulty in maneuvering the application. I was already familiar with publisher from ETEC 224, so this was merely taking what I had previously learned and applying it.



I enjoyed creating the brochure. Publisher provides many different templates and layouts for you to choose from. I believe that creating a brochure to hand out to parents at the beginning of the year is a great idea. This allows the parent and child to see the outline of the course and my educational background. The brochure also provides the parents with the information that they would need if they ever needed to contact me. My schedule is also displayed in the brochure so they can see when my conference period is.

There is not any issue that I have at this time using desktop publisher. It is real easy to use, at least in my opinion.

I really was pleasantly surprised that I like Publisher. It has a lot of neat features that I was not aware of prior to this course. Well as I stated in the previous paragraph, I have used Publisher in a prior course, so I already had an idea of how to use it. This class though has allowed me expand upon that base of knowledge and learn the intricacies of the program. I did not know that you could create a resume in this program which I also found interesting. You can change the background themes which makes your resume catch the eye of potential employers. I will definately be creating the brochure for my classroom. As I have stated that is a really useful resource for the parent and child.
