The
purpose of Pages is almost identical to Word. Both applications allow for one
to create a word document. Both allow you to edit fonts, headings , and text
style and size . Both Microsoft word and pages allows for the word document to
be customizable for the needs to the creator. A difference in Word and Pages is
how the user accesses features. On Word, the creator has many features that are
accessible by clicking on various option tabs above the word document . Each
tab has a variety of features that the user can choose from . Even though I
have been working with Word since I was a young child , I still do not know what half of the
features are and how I could use them when creating a world document . On the
other hand, Pages have the paintbrush tool. This tool gives the user features of the word document as the
features become applicable to what the user is doing. I believe that this is
far more user friendly than the Word . As an educator to young children, I
could see this being a lot easier for young children to use. This gives
students the features they need as the students need the features. One feature
I found on Pages that I did not find on Word was the password feature. On Pages,
a student could set a password for a document that allows only the student to
access the document. This could be very useful in a classroom in which students
are sharing an IPad. This way, students can create documents without others
being able to access their content. As far as quantity of features, it is clear
that the amount of features is vaster on Word. Although, I found in my time of
working with Pages that the essential features that a student would use on daily
on Word are all present in Pages
Using the Password Feature
Using the Paintbrush option. It is displaying features only applicable to charts.
Good job!
