Create a DIY school yearbook to remember

School yearbooks make great keepsakes. Students can cherish them for a long time after they finish school. The task of putting together a yearbook can seem overwhelming and costly, but there are plenty of fun and creative ways for students to design and print their own yearbook within budget.

Table This!

Table This! is a lesson that will teach students to set up a simple table in Microsoft Word. I introduce this lesson by comparing a table to a Bingo card. Each card is divided into Columns and Rows. The word BINGO is spelled out across the columns and a different number is in each row.

Once that connection is made, I tell the students that they are going to create their own BINGO card except their card will include vocabulary words related to computer hardware instead of numbers.
