Microsoft Word

 

The technology I have selected is Microsoft Word. This technology is a tool from Dr. Wang's PPT and it is specifically from the Google vs. Microsoft list. 

 

What it is: 
Microsoft word is a component of the Microsoft Office suite and can be accessed from any computer that has an internet connection. This platform allows students to create, edit and store documents.

What is Microsoft Word?

Usage and what it's able to do: 

• Microsoft Word is very easy to use. It provides students an easy way to create documents. 
• Microsoft Word is very portable since it can be used from any computer with internet access and all
  of the documents are in one spot.   
• The abilities of Microsoft Word are endless. In Microsoft Word you are able to choose from a variety of templates, edit fonts, you are able to insert images, and all your current work on your documents auto save.
  

  I think the likelihood of using Microsoft Word in my future classroom is very high because it is a simple platform that is able to do a variety of things and most of all, students are able to easily collaborate with it.

Connection to TLC and SAMR

I believe Microsoft Word connects to the TLC framework because in the classroom we are able to teach, learn and communicate on Microsoft Word. Content can be presented on a Microsoft Word for kids to learn and content can be shared to communicate with others in class. Microsoft Word also connects to SAMR because it specifically connects to the S which stands for substitution. Microsoft word is a substitution instead of using paper and pencil to write papers.
