Thing 17: Open Office

To be honest, I was very disappointed with what Open Office offers. This past school year, I tried to use Open Office Writer and Open Office Impress with my students for a tech fusion. I ended up not using these programs...my main problem I had with them is that they did not offer clip art. Clip art was essential for the assignment, so I explored a different avenue. I have played quite a bit with Impress in making ppt. presentations. When I used Open Office Writer, I created an acrostic poem. I played around with the formatting and borders when workign on my acrostic poem. I will probably not use Open Office Calc very much, but I really don't use Excel that much either.
