Keyboarding I
Keyboarding I
for 6th and 7th graders teaches the
basic computer fundamentals and proper typing technique. Students also
learn
common computer terminology, participate in an Internet safety course,
and
complete
a writing assignment in Microsoft Word. Once Keyboarding I has been
successfully completed, student may further enhance their skills in Keyboarding
II or Computer Applications
(for 8th graders).

Keyboarding II

Keyboarding II for 7th and
8th graders is a 9-week
course which allows students to build upon keyboarding skills acquired
in
Keyboarding I. Student will work on improving typing speed and
accuracy, learn
more about Microsoft Word and Internet safety, and receive an
introduction to PowerPoint.
(8th grade students
with above average computer skills should elect Computer Applications
instead of Keyboarding II.)

Computer Applications for 8th graders is a
9-week course for proficient typists that familiarizes students with
commonly used computer applications. Each student will create a
portfolio containing assignments in Microsoft Word and Excel. Next,
students will receive an introduction to multimedia software by
creating slide presentations in Microsoft PowerPoint and Windows Movie
Maker. (Keyboarding
I is the only
prerequisite to this course; however, students needing to improve
typing skills
should complete Keyboarding II before enrolling in Computer
Applications.)
