Computer Education 3rd Course Information

Goals of the class: Students will be introduced to basic keyboarding skills using the touch method (typing with eight fingers and a thumb WITHOUT looking at their fingers). Students will learn to key with correct posture while at the computer (feet flat, belly button lined up with the G/H keys, rear end pushed back in their seat, sitting up straight, palms slightly off the keyboard, etc. This will be done using Type to Learn and Typing Time software packages. Students will also be engaged in simple projects that will reinforce the skills they are learning.

Typing Time Software: Available at no charge to students again this year will be the practice software that comes with our Typin's Cool Keyboarding program. The software will run on Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT. I also have a MAC version for anyone with a Macintosh computer. If you are interested in having this software for use at home, please send a note to school with your child. State what computer platform (PC or MAC) you are using at home and that you would like your child to have a copy of the software sent home. Parents may also send an email message requesting a copy of this software. My email address is: lhoffman@rvschools.org. I will then send a copy of the software on disk with installation instructions home with your child.
