  2. Overview • Make accommodations for students using MS Word.  • Create study guides, quizzes and tests using interactive fill-in-the-blank, multiple choice, and drop-down features of MS Word (Part I). • Create audio files so that students can have directions read to them (Part II).

  4. What works… • Amy & students like it because there is no learning curve in the process • Love to use the computer • No typing or writing required unless text field is used • Audio files can work with students help • Students take quiz/test and then print but they don’t save • Can use as study guide as a KWL

  5. Agenda Today: • Take a quiz and see what it’s all about! • Demonstration in Word: fill in the blank, multiple choice and drop down menu questions. • Practice by making your own quiz or study guide. Next class: • Using audio files in MS Word. • Uploading files to the Internet.

Some good uses for forms: Allow students to: • Easily select choices from a list. • Easily change choices. • To save time for your students by allowing them to choose responses from a drop-down box. • Avoid mistakes due to losing place on paper. • Submit a document with an age-appropriate appearance. • Receive appropriate level of support.
