Welcome to the Business Department.  I welcome and encourage parents to contact me with questions, concerns, and comments.  Please email me at kembled@westprairie.org.  The best time to call me is 7:30-7:50 a.m.  (309-456-3750)

 

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.

 

 

The tentative class coverage is as follows: 

There will be accuracy checks and technique evaluation on a regular basis.
