Web-based Instruction of Microsoft word How 2s

I will help Dr. Bishop, professor of Educational  technology, Education department of Lehigh University for her TBTE 406 course (Tools for K-12 teaching and learning) of Educational technology graduate students of Lehigh University to prepare office 2007 based How 2s instructional materials.The learning goal of TBTE 406 course (Tools for k-12 teaching and learning) is the application of technology in school-based Instructional setting. This course addresses the use of technology tools and resources to enhance and foster learning. Students will demonstrate skills in design and demonstrate Web sites, Evaluation and use of Instructional software, production and integration of digital media and other digital components.

Most of the students use MS word 2003 and 2007 for any writing document. Some may use iWork for Macintosh. Word 2007 just has been released few months ago. Most of them are not much aware of new version of MS Word that has been changed a lot compared to older version, 2003.

It is a supporting guidance for using new version of word 2007 for the students of TBTE 406 course of Educational technology graduate degree level students of Education Department in Lehigh University. They already started their fall semester course. Most of the students who are enrolled in EDUC 406 course most probably know how to write a normal word document, save and print it out. But some may not know how to use it more efficiently. Some may not be aware of word 2007. That is why this project will be helpful for them.

I will supply my first handout by the end of month of October, 2007. As soon as possible I will supply my other handouts.

Field placement

I have an opportunity to work with Dr. Bishop for this project. She was looking for someone who can create print based materials (text with screen shots) on How to use word 2007. These print based .PDF files would be used to accompany/ supplement her existing word 2003 videos.  I already have started working on it. Now I am writing a word document and couple of screen shots along with it.
