How can I use MS Office to help me meet NETS?
I think MS Office will help meet NETS in my classroom because it will allow me to help my students become familiar with technology, (2). In addition, I will be able to focus on the different learning styles of my students, which will assist me in my summutative and formative evaluations, (2). Also, MS Office will allow me to coninue to grow, and improve, in my profession technologically(5).

From my perspective, NETS For Teachers 2008 is a list of technological strategies that the classroom teacher should practice, and exercise, to ensure that the teacher, students, parents, and staff become independent and confident, when working with technology. This will also address, and accomodate, different learning styles, evaluations, and will help improve develpoment.
I, personally, would use MS Office to help me keep tract of the different learning styles and evaluations of my students because I belive it will help me to better manage, and control, my classroom,(2). I believe this meets the NETS standards because, if I have good management of my class, I will be able to develope an environment for my student that will allow both me and my students, to have access, their progress over time.

I agree that using Office suite applications can help you with your ideas identified in your posting, but what specifically can it do to help your students become familiar with technology? What are some projects that you'd have your students do? How will it help address learning styles?

You have a lot of good ideas, they are correct depending on how you'd implement them in the classroom. Can you list two projects that you'd use and how those project help you meet the NETS for Teachers?
