Publisher

There is another program from the computer that we rarely use - the Publisher. We are so familiar to words and power point, but Publisher provides us with lots of functions where we can be creative as well! I did explore this program on my own before but it was just for fun...from what i could remember... there were a few times I used it to design greeting cards..but that was years ago. we can get authentic materials from the newspapers or magazines to be used as teaching aids, but why don't we try to design them ourselves sometimes because we can make it more personal to the pupils. Moreover, pupils may appreciate more on the things that the teacher prepares for them. At the same time, teachers can introduce this program to the pupils and teach them what they can do with it to come out with their own cards or brocheurs, which they may enjoy doing it. It is a good medium for teacher and pupils to be creative and at the same time able to acquire the language.
Back to the task assigned to us... we were required to get into groups of six and produce a newsletter.. wow! A newsletter!! Hmm.. a new thing to learn..with the help from other group members, I think we can come out with one.. now, we are still in the discussion to determine what we are going to do for the newsletter.
