#CPSTechTipTuesday will demonstrate how to convert an Adobe PDF document to an editable Microsoft Word document. PDF documents are great for sending files to individuals and keeping the formatting consistent. However, a downfall is that you cannot edit the file. Using Microsoft Word, you can open a PDF document and edit it as needed. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE ▶ https://youtu.be/-AH6yWXx6oI

The past few weeks have been tough on my art II kids; they are "SO TIRED OF MAKING DOTS," but I snapped pictures of their projects and showed them, their eyes lit up, and then said, "THAT'S SO COOL," and they're proud of themselves. I have the privilege of being their educator; that lightbulb moment when they see their hard work pay off is my "why." - Ms. Mercer, CHS Art Teacher. ..................................................................................................................................................... All of their work is done with a .5mm black ink pen. You are looking at hours of work and THOUSANDS of dots. Oh, and one proud teacher! It's Always a Great Day to be a Zebra. ***No teenagers were harmed in the making of this artwork - even though they acted like it was painful *** #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
