Word:
I have worked with Word on several projects ranging from: documents, flyers for Churchill County Park & Recreation Department (use to work for), information pamphlets for programs and reports for bosses that used Excel to show data in graphic form. Examples: A photocopy of the kindergarten progress report that I did for the all day program / Sample survey report for the Parks & Rec Department.

How I plan on integrating technology into my teaching:
When I begin to teach I hope to have students use technology in their studies, to keep track of student progress and to use technology to present material to my students. I also hope that I can help assist others in my profession with technology while I learn from them in return.
