Create a Table in Microsoft Word
| Reflection |
| I
have used this project with mostly with teachers to introduce how to create
a simple table within Microsoft Word.
Several teachers expressed an interest in creating a school supply list for their class at the beginning of the school year. They then ask for direction in how to create columns or use the tab key within Microsoft Word to create the list. However, I have found that it is much simpler to use the Table feature within Word to create lists. This requires much less effort than using columns or the tab key and is a time saver. I demonstrate how easy it is to use the Table feature and once teachers have been shown how to use this feature they agree that it is a much simpler method for creating lists. We then brainstorm on different uses for using tables and more often than not, they discover a multitude of uses! |
