Using WORD's "Tables" to Construct an Online-Test
To be integrated with Lesson-Plan-Related Portfolio Sections

Word XP/2003 & 2007

In this section, you will be shown how to use the "Tables" feature in WORD to construct an “online” test, and/or a handout that goes with the Lesson Plan in Portfolio Section 3. The “Tables” feature works similar to the "columns" feature, but has more adaptability. 

Using the "Tables" feature, (1) make an appropriate “online” test (Multiple Choice, Matching, or True/False) for your subject area and grade level. After completing this assignment post it on your website as an htm file or test.htm.  Center the table on the page; use an appropriate heading, & layout the document for a professional appearance.  Remove borders and add underline or bottom borders as needed to make the document easy to read.  Give clear instructions about how to fill out the form and give the number of points for each question.
