Week 3 • Sept 16-20

What a great first 2 weeks we have had. Everyone is catching on to the computer systems and our routine nicely! This week:
• Keyboardingonline.com - We will start keyboarding practice on a daily basis this week. Our focus is on learning proper finger placement and learning to type without looking at the keys. Speed and accuracy will come with practice.
• Microsoft Word - Drawing Tools. Students will be working on learning the drawing tools by using them to design a drawing of their "Dream Classroom". Tentative due date will be Thursday.
(Coming up: Excel and basic spreadsheets.)

Week 2 • Sept 9-13

This week we will be working on a project in Microsoft Word and Google Docs. Students will learn basic layout skills for each and be able to compare their similarities and differences.

We will also learn about keyboarding techniques and start using keyboardingonline.com.

FRIDAY is Otter Pride Night. Don't forget to wear Maroon and Gold on Fri!
