The purpose of this activity is to encourage
you to think about your administrative work as an educator,
as well as to think about how a word processor could be used
to make this work easier. For the purpose of this module,
"administrative" uses are defined as uses that do
not directly involve learning activities in the classroom.
Before starting this activity, we suggest you discuss with
your colleagues where you think a word processor can be used
for administration. The results of the previous activity
should have given you a good list of ideas. This will help
you to develop a better idea of how a word processor can save
you time and help you to become more productive.
It is useful to create documents that you
can re-use, instead of creating documents from the beginning
every time you need them. For example, if you produce a class
register, it may be more useful to create a blank one for
filling in the names of several classes, rather than creating
one for grade 6B only. A blank framework document such as
this would be referred to as a template. In Microsoft* Word you can
use Save As and set the File Save As Type as Document Template.
Other word processors should have similar features.
