Artifact # 9
Context
I created a newsletter using Microsoft Publisher. I designed
this newsletter to send to the parents before the first day of school or
orientation. Microsoft Publisher takes you step by step through the
process of making a newsletter, or any other like item. In the newsletter,
I introduce myself, tell about my vision for our class, and a little about
my philosophy of learning. I include a picture of myself, as well.
Our Class Rules are listed in the margin of the newsletter, along with
contact information, and needed materials for the first day of class.
It also included upcoming events. A newsletter will be sent to the
parents each month, in order to help keep the parents up-to-date on what
is happening in our class.
Impact
This artifact will be a one of the ways I plan to keep parents informed
about what is going on in my classroom. It is easy and fun to make,
gives me a chance to be creative in my communications, and is informative
to the parents. I will use the skills learned by making this artifact
each month as I create the next month’s newsletter.
Alignment
This artifact aligns with Technology Competency 12.3
because I used the computer, Microsoft Publisher, in order to create this
newsletter. It was designed to be a means of communication to the
parents.
