The teacher suggests using Microsoft Word for documentation due to its useful features, including a table of contents, and advises students on how to structure each section, such as defining the problem, describing the scope, and being specific about the target users and functionality of their program. Overall, the lesson aims to prepare students for producing high-quality documentation for their projects.
