Microsoft publisher: my first greeting card and postcard!

Hi, good afterno0n to all. Today we got the chance to explore another brilliant software: Microsoft Office Publisher 2007. Before that, Mdm Foziah showed us a few templates that we can use to create our teaching aids. This was not our first time using this software, in fact, we have produced a few brochures using Microsoft Office Publisher before, however, this was my first time exploring the latest version of Microsoft Publisher.

Indeed, I have gained a lot of useful skills today. When I started exploring Microsoft Publisher, many wonderful ideas began to blossom. I found that there are ample of resources that can be created using this brilliant software. For instance, it features greeting cards, postcards, brouchure, poster and so on. All these can be turned into colourful teaching aids that can really help us in enhancing our lesson. Since I've tried to create a brochure before, therefore, this time I am going to embark on something new: creating a greeting card and a postcard.

In the midst of creating the greeting card, I realise that this software is very versatile and user-friendly. If we are creative enough, we can create tonnes of wonderful teaching aids from this site. I still remember when I first taught my pupils on how to produce a postcard, I only opted for Microsoft Word, in fact, I had problems in changing the margin of the postcard and inserting pictures. However, I thank God that I know how to produce a postcard now! The format is prepared and is ready to be used! All we have to do is insert the content and pictures. So far, I've completed a Thank You card and a postcard. I'm positive that it would be useful in the writing class. The samples would be beneficial for pupils as they serve as a writing model for them to follow. They can also learn about the structure of sentences. Besides, if this software is available in the classroom, it would be wonderful if pupils can create their own postcards and greeting cards. They would definitely love to participate in such activity!

So, here are my products:

Overall, I had fun exploring this software. Therefore, I would definitely utilise it when I embark on my teaching journey later. Hope you guys have fun trying with this new software too. All the best!
