==== I use //Word// and //Powerpoint// daily to create documents and lectures for the students, respectively. I’ve tracked my students’ proficiency levels and allowed them to monitor their progress using //Excel//. I have also implemented activities that required the students to analyze and manipulate data with //Excel// but I have yet to use //Publisher// in the classroom. ==== ====** <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">How you might use it: <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-weight: normal;">The possibilities are endless! Regardless of how big or small your instructional goal may be, at least one of Microsoft’s applications can be used in achieving that goal. **==== ====**<span style="color: #595959; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">Now go to: Microsoft in Education **<span style="color: #595959; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">for great examples on how to incorporate Microsoft into any classroom! ====
