REFLECTIONI adopted a Microsoft Office whole features approach and hands-on practice in the context of a Desktop Publishing environment to teach MS office suite--Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher, Access; taking into consideration my students' ages, span of attention, and media factors that might further call their attention : short stories, images, fonts, colors, sounds, images, videos, so to help develop students' creativity while enforcing visual benchmarks created in advance to be reproduced or serve as starter point for similar open-ended works.I always dragged my feet teaching certification courses that with no exception are rigid and business oriented: one-way only to make things to satisfy management tenets of reaching goals, using the least amount of resources, efforts, time (effectiveness & efficiency); perfect in a business world, but dangerously dull and even discouraging and anti-pedagogical if impose in a teenage general classroom; that might lead to academic disengagement or worse: to a negative academic experience--that might affect an individual intellectuality for life.
