SPEAKER: Faye Marie S. Ilano

1. What are the key concepts that you have learned in this session?
 The key concepts that I have learned in this session is the functions of the status bars and the
used of grammar checker.
 One more concept is the used of Word documents templates which is important especially if you
are making research.
 Another important concept is in Microsoft word; you will be able to work collaboratively with
your colleague. Aside from this we can also look for the certificate template which is timesaving
if you do not have enough time to work on it.
 Microsoft has also prompted which will check if there's any repeated words or if there's any
misspelled words. This prompt allows us to ignore or remove the incorrect words.
 Default file location allows the users to store the file in one location if she preferred it more
organized.
 The use of popular commands for an early revision or editing. Users can also use templates that
they like as there's plenty of fonts provided by Microsoft words.
 Find feature, user can use this feature if they would like to find a word or key points they wish to
replace. Other concepts were also discussed which are also important when you are creating
documents.

2. How can you integrate this in teaching and in the field of education?
 Teacher or educators can integrate MS word in the academe field by means of creating
interactive and time saving documents like lesson plans, student’s outputs, worksheets with
different formatting options for a more visual appealing and organized materials for teaching.
 MS word can be integrated in teaching especially if the teachers give an essay assessment that
has a word count as this app has the word count option which enables the students to identify
the word count instead of manually counting it. Teacher can also give feedback and grading as it
has this available feature.
 MS word enables Peer Editing or collaborative work. In today’s education system allowing
students to work collaboratively is important as it’s not only helping them to work with their
peers, but it also develops their sense of responsibility and MS word has this feature to work and
edit with your colleague.
 MSWORD has a multimedia integration as it allows us to insert images, videos or even make a 3D
form of presentation and other multimedia illustrations. Teacher can incorporate multimedia in
her materials with the help of MS word.
 Students are task to work on a research paper, and MS word has this feature like using APA
format which is the commonly used format in research. They can also insert Bibliography and
other reference for their work.
3. Make a summary of the session either in paragraph or bullet form.
 Microsoft is a word processor developed by Microsoft in 1993 to make it easier for us users to
create our documents. Aside from the documents, we can also use the templates which was
made for users who do not have time to create one. Microsoft word commands was also
discussed where users can choose from the given options which command, they preferred using.
This command allows users to edit their documents in a more accessible way.
 The used of tables if you needed one for your documents can also be access in Microsoft word.
Aside from this, user can also edit the table most especially if they preferred a more colorful
one. In MS word, one can also insert images and use a 3D model to make a more realistic
presentation. Smart art feature can be found in MS word as well which enable users to select
from the tables or graphs if they needed one.
 Other feature is the use of bookmarks and cross reference section.
 Microsoft office signature line allows the person to request an email for the signer.
 Equation feature is more helpful for a Math Class you can just simply ink equation and it will
automatically create one depends on what equation you needed. Symbol feature can also be use
in MS Word.
 Watermark Feature allows the owner of creator of the content to mark the documents he
created.
 Table of contents, this feature enables the user to make changes on the headings without
changing the numbering of the table.
 We can also use the APA format which is available is MS Word. Bibliography can also be use if
you need a more time saving work.
 One can also use the review feature; it allows the MS Word to proofread the documents. This is
accessible to user who do not have any Grammarly or if you do not have time to proofread your
work.
