Microsoft Publishing

Publishing Program

Have you ever heard of the “Microsoft Publisher” program? Well, I didn’t. Well, not until I interviewed Mr. Wandera. Mr. Wandera, a math and computer teacher, has been teaching students about the “Publisher” program for three years. He teaches four magnet classes in after-school magnet: 710, 610, 730, and 630.

I found out some of the things that you can do on the “Publisher” program. Some of those things that you can do on the “Publisher” program are make Brochures, Greeting cards, Thank you cards, and more. I asked Mr. Wandera if he did any projects in the “Publisher” program with his classes. He said, “I split the class into groups, and made them make a company with a logo, a catalog, a brochure, a website, and more.”

I also asked Mr. Wandera what made him want to teach magnet classes. He said, “I want to teach magnet classes because they are challenging, excited to learn, and I love them.” This is a little something about the “Publisher” program.

Is Myspace Safe?

Is Myspace, the popular website, safe? What do you think? People say that it’s perfectly safe and some say that it is not safe at all. Myspace can be safe if used with caution.


If you don’t have a picture of yourself online, then it might be pretty safe. If you just have an icon, then it’s safe too. You should go onto Myspace for good reasons, such as to talk to your friends. For example, if you forgot your homework you can ask your friend for it. There are reasons why Myspace is unsafe too. Some people out there go on Myspace with bad intentions. Often teenagers and even adults are too trusting to people they do not know and this leads to the problems that Myspace creates.


What can we do to protect ourselves if we do use Myspace? Here are some suggestions:

1) Use an icon instead of a picture

2) Do not write out your address or phone number

3) Don’t add people you do not know to your list


Hopefully all students will take the privilege of internet use to heart and learn to protect themselves.
