In my school I wear many hats: librarian, music teacher, drama teacher, piano teacher, summer camp coordinator, and office administrator! It seems I am always needed to create a flyer, newsletter, advertisement, calendar, certificate, postcard, program or invitation. The best way I have discovered to make these designs outstanding is through the use of desktop publishing software. I currently use Microsoft Publisher almost on a daily basis.
Desktop Publishing Software allows the user to create pages on a professional level with almost endless capabilities. Text and graphics may be entered into the document and manipulated until the user is satisfied with the finished product. There are many ways that teachers can use desktop publishing to create and customize worksheets, transparencies, newsletters, booklets, information packets and certificates that will enhance their instructional delivery.
I create a parent newsletter each week that is published on our school website using Microsoft Publisher. I also create flyers for my field trips that I coordinate and advertisements for upcoming school-wide performances and events. Lately I have also used Publisher to design invitations for open house, the school science fair, and catered events. The use of this technology has made my multiple clerical responsibilities much easier and has allowed me to concentrate on what I feel is most important: being a librarian and teacher!
