I absolutely loved learning how to create my back to school newsletter in Word. I had never done anything like that before, so the whole newsletter was a testimony to my growing skills in technology!
I learned so much on that project... The first really useful thing I learned was how to access Word, and then I learned how to choose a page layout and create borders for it. I had a ball choosing the font and colors to be used, but my favorite thing was learning to use WordArt and clip art. I learned how to insert lines and boxes, too, but it wasn't as exciting as finding clip art and using WordArt.
What I really liked in my newsletter was the "Class expectations" box. It was very simple and well-spaced, but it contained all the information needed. I also liked how the "Parent Corner" turned out; that, too, was really clear and concise and easily readable.
The next time I do a newsletter, though, I will not use a box with single-spaced lines in bold lettering. It came out looking very crowded and business-like, and it really didn't match the casual style I used in the rest of the newsletter. I think I will use the "less-is-more" philosophy when I create my next newsletter, but I will be more adventurous with color!
