Keyboarding/Formatting
1B
The programs that are being
used are: MicroType
and Key Champ both by South-Western Educational Publishing and Microsoft
Word.
It is very important for the
students to use the correct techniques in all their keyboard use. If they use the correct techniques while
working on other school projects, leisure activities, etc., it provides an
excellent practice and reinforcement for Keyboarding/Word Processing.
Each student has a copy of the
Technique Evaluation. Please use it at
home and evaluate your son/daughter as they practice. This will let you see what areas they might
need extra work on.
Each student should have a
binder or folder to keep their handouts and sample problems. They need to bring this to class each day so
they can use it as a reference guide. I
check them periodically. This is part of
their grade.
Should you have any questions
or concerns, please email me at kembled@westprairie.org.
The best time to call me is
There is homework
this semester. Several students have not
been doing the homework and studying adequately for tests and projects. Ask your student frequently if they have
homework for this class. Also, ask your
student what their grade is. I give them
their grades weekly. Feel free to
contact me if you have questions.
We have upgraded our
computer lab. It is wonderful. The district purchased 19 new computers. They went into Mr. Sullivan’s room. The old ones out of his room are now in my
room. They are several years newer than
what was in here. So, they are new to
us. We are certainly enjoying
them.
