Identify a focus for this course 

As a teacher you fulfill many roles. You are an administrator at times and a curriculum interpreter at other times. In each case you perform different functions and could be supported by easily access office software (such as Microsoft Office) in different ways. In this course we are focusing on your role as a designer of learning experiences.

1. Use this opportunity to reflect on your subject teaching. If you are not a subject teacher reflect on the primary role that you fulfill as an educator. What are the areas of your work where you feel you could most benefit from the introduction of office software or, if you already use office software, a more enhanced use of office software to make your role as an educator more effective? Make these areas a focus of your learning in the remaining lessons of this course.
2. Share your focus areas of learning with your group. You could work collaboratively with other participants who are planning to work on the same kind of topics. Post a comment in the group forum called “Study Focus”. If you notice peers who are working on the same topic as you, consider creating a group and inviting them to collaborate with you.
