Blog Assignment #5 – Using and Evaluating a News 2.0 Tool

By: Kevin Bloder

Microsoft Publisher can be used for editing magazines, newspapers, posters of anything else similar to that. It’s used to create any sort of final product. You can edit it by using text boxes, inserting pictures, adding word art and making lines or shapes. You can organize things the way you want it.

I used Publisher for creating “The United Courier” at the start of the school year. After I figured out how to use it, it worked really well even though I didn’t do very well on my project. Publisher let me do create my newspaper the way I wanted it and it had many tools that I could use.

I think publisher was a useful tool for my Newspaper project and will be very good for my final project. Dakota and I are creating a magazine called the sound and publisher will be an excellent tool to use. The pros of this program are that it is more advanced, easy to use, has more tools, and has better tools. The cons were that it was slow to load and that it took me some time to figure out how to use it. It could have just been slow because of the laptops though.
