    Hey Taylor! Great reflection on the usage of word in the classroom. Word, like many other Microsoft applications, is an incredibly useful tool to have in a classroom. In todays education environment, we tend to use more technology than anything in our teaching. Without word we wouldn't be able to create worksheets, organize our thoughts, and organize many other types of information.
