MRC2.3

Our class today involved getting the group to type out a greeting card and then use the cut, copy and paste functions to modify the text. Students also saved and reopened their document. Some of the students managed to create a folder and store their work in their folder.

I tried asking the group to use paint and draw circles and rectangles before they went on to using word/writer. Although I am not entirely sure, I think using paint really helped them better understand the concept of clicking and dragging. More importantly, many of the women seemed to love playing with paint and this resulted in a lot of t hem experimenting on their own - something I have not seen them do in the past. I may try to use paint a little more in other classes in order to aid improvement of mouse handling and giving them something more creative to do.
