Creative Communicator

I communicate effectively and express myself creatively using different tools, styles, formats, and digital media. 

Reflection:

 I used Word to create an informative flyer encouraging students to join Battle of the Books. Word is a versatile tool that can be used in so many different ways. I chose Word because I was familiar with it. I think most students have used Word. However, it also was a little frustrating because I haven't explored the drawing/creating aspect very much. I suppose as I continue to use Word for different projects I will become more familiar with what Word is capable of. Students can use Word not only to write reports, but also create book report brochures and flyers. Allowing them to explore Word will be helpful for them in their futures.
