The BEST Thing

What's the BEST THING you can do with a computer?  You decide.  It might be a web-site, or a piece of software, or taking videos of sporting events, or chatting with MSN.  It might involve some other equipment as well (e.g. a digital camera), but it must involve a computer. ( Nothing illegal or immoral, please. )

Whatever it is, you need to write a pamphlet about this activity.  The teacher will show you the easy way to make 3 columns so you can print the pamphlet and then fold it up.

You are writing this for other students - use some pictures and maybe nice fonts to make things a bit more interesting, and write about reasons they will understand.

How to Do It

There is an example at the right.  You should write more than this - try to answer the following questions:

What is it?
Why is it fun (or good)?
How do you do it?
What TRICKS make it work better?
Why is it better than other stuff?

Be convincing!  Make it attractive!  Be clear and helpful.  

And do it quickly!
 You will only have
3 class periods to
finish this.  Don't
spend too much
time deciding.
