The best kind of learning happens when a person becomes his or her own best teacher. Since yesterday, I've been teaching myself how to use Microsoft Publisher and I'm having a blast with it. Yes, I am doing it for a reason. Ms. Triplo asked if I could design the playbill for the upcoming show, My Fair Lady.
Certainly, I could take a Publisher class sponsored by Camden County College and spend hundreds of dollars. Likewise, I could sit around and wait for someone to tutor me, but that's not the way to go. Teaching myself is so much more fun. Last night, I dug into the program and started really moving with the playbill. When I looked up, two hours had passed - just like a time machine!
I'm not going into this blind. I've commandeered a playbill that I grabbed from Cherry Hill West's production of Bye Bye Birdie. I'll look at the layout and ask myself, "How did they do that?" Through trial and error, I'll get it.
