This week I learned how to properly create a newsletter and make a rubric from scratch. I started making my newsletter and it wasn't until I was through that I realized that I should have followed the EXACT directions in the "How To" document, but I scrolled through it too fast and figured, "I'm pretty sure I can handle this". I ended up having to start a whole new blank word document, and building it up again (but according to the steps this time). I thought it would look better with more text in the newsletter, so I filled the columns with text from an essay that I recently wrote about weapon development in the Cold War.
The digit packrat information is intimidating. I'm eager to get started though. I'm the type of person that needs to put all important work in one place.
In the future I might make newsletters for family reunions, work meetings, or even a Xmas card to update people on my status.
My future students might make newsletters to disburse to their clubs, sports teams, or study/play groups.
My students will have many more options and easier access to any subject within the realm of technology. I remember when my mom would type my school papers for me on an old typewriter. I doubt if any kids have even ever owned or used a type writer before.
About the article "Oh The Changes...":
(pg.16)- Early Computerized Simulations and Social Interaction"
I remember playing the Orgon Trail when I was in elementary school. I think we had one computer in the classroom and if you finished your work or had nothing to do, Oregon Trail was where it was at. I do remember learning about all the different ways my players would die, what animals they killed for food, and what types of people they met along the way. Not until thinking about it do I understand the educational aspect of the game.
