I can see where using Excel is so practical and useful for setting up a gradebook for our classrooms. It's very much
a timesaver and I thoroughly enjoy having access to a process that makes averaging so simple. I have purchased gradebook programs
in the past, but excel is so convenient. I cannot ever see myself keeping a traditional gradebook ever again.
It was a lot of fun developing a newsletter and I know this is something I will definitely want to continue in the months
ahead. I didn't realize it was so easy to put together. We really have every resource imagineable to communicate with our
parents in an effective manner. I like adding the border, drawing the boxes, and had fun with the shading. Getting the clip
exactly where I wanted it was a little tricky for me. I learned that the type needs to be big enough to get people's attention
and I can see where you improve over time with the layout of the pages. I no longer feel intimidated with producing a newsletter.
This project also kind of give me the idea of the amount of time I would need to set aside to finish one.
