9 weeks Digital Literacy
9 weeks Keyboarding and Basic Word Processing
WELCOME to River Bend!
First, a very brief description of the course à The digital literacy units will cover everything from hardware and software to Internet safety and citizenship. In the keyboarding unit, we’ll learn how to key using the touch method. (We’ll be using the www.EduTyping.com program.) After we’ve mastered that, the major portion of the course will be the word processing skills unit, when we will learn formatting skills and apply them to specific types of documents.
The keyboarding program we use has audio. My classroom has headphones for student use, but students may bring their own earbuds or headphones.
I will use group email messages to inform parents of current assignments, upcoming tests or quizzes, grade postings online, and distribution of interim-progress reports.
