Word processor

For decades of year, schools and colleges in Bhutan were in the darkness where students cannot explore another world through different means than to open a book. But the birth of ICT brought a great difference in the schools and colleges of Bhutan. In every college ICT plays an important role as most of the work is done using ICT. Till my stay here in Paro College of Education, I have learned many experiences through ICT.

My first encounter here was learning of Word processing. Microsoft Word is a word processor developed by Microsoft. It was first released on October 25, 1983, under the name Multi-Tool Word for Xenix systems. When word processing software features are used in conjunction with good organizational skills, this saves users time. Instead of spending time sorting and searching for misfiled or misplaced paperwork, using the computer's search feature makes finding files simple.

 In school word processor are only used to create the document and edit by adding more text, modifying the existing text, deleting/moving some part of it. And spelling is also checked and correction is made automatically in the entire document. But when I reached to college I found word processor is more important as an educator because we need to do lots of academic writing which we have to write reference according to the APA styles which are already in the word document. 

Word processors are a valuable part of the technology now available for educators in schools. Students and teachers both receive many benefits when doing classwork on the computer. Many of the headaches of paperwork are eliminated. Moreover, in school whenever we were asked to insert the picture we used to search from the internet and copy the image in the document, but now we can use shapes to draw images like animals. As a future teacher, this can be used in school to make more interesting and effective learning. So, the word processor is not only for typing text. Please go through the link below.
