Microsoft Word for the Classroom Available Online

Laramie, WY (February 11, 2008) – Are you a teacher who feels intimidated by word processing programs? Are you having trouble figuring out the newest version of Microsoft Word? If so, a new online course for teachers called "Microsoft Word 2007 in the Classroom" might be the perfect solution for you!

The course will cover the basics of creating, editing, saving, and retrieving documents, plus more advanced features like tables, borders, clip art, WordArt, and templates. It will be packed full of tips to help educators integrate Word into their lesson plans.

The course's instructor, Robin Sellers, says, "Teachers who take the course will learn tips and tricks that help them use Word effectively, both in their classrooms and in their personal lives. The course is appropriate for teachers who are beginning users and for those who have used earlier versions of Microsoft Word. My goal is to spark teachers' creative genius and stimulate them to create great classroom projects.”

The course includes a classroom that is open day and night. Students can interact with the instructor and their fellow students in Web-based discussion areas where they can ask as many course-related questions as they'd like. A response is usually promised within one business day, and often arrives much sooner than that.

Students can take "Microsoft Word 2007 in the Classroom" from the convenience of their home or office, and at any time of the day or night.
