Module 2A_5:Activity3- Word Processor for Lesson Preparation

One of the most important aspects of teaching is lesson preparation. Pens, paper, scissors and glue as lesson preparation tools tend to be cumbersome.  These can be easily replaced with technology.  The word processor can be used to type your lesson plans, learner’s notes/hand-outs or worksheets.  The best part of this is that you can save your work for reuse next year – and if you need to make a change, only a few clicks are required.

Module 2A_5:Activity2- Word Processor as an administrative tool

The word processor can significantly aid the teacher with the administrative task he/she has to complete.  The busy teacher can benefit greatly from the ease with which the word processor allows you to store, recall/retrieve, amend and organise information.  Templates can be created so that the same materials/documents do not need to be done over and over again.  Records can be updated instantly.
