Students will work through a selfpaced typing program to learn touch typing skills through lessons, games and activities. Students are expected to practice keyboarding for 1 hour each week, using the online program or other assignments at home. Students will also learn basic computer functions and how to use word processing, spreadsheet and presentation software to create fabulous documents they will be proud of. This class is appropriate for students with some computer experience as well as those just beginning their computer literacy.

Tech in the Community
**From time to time I receive emails about tech in the community because of the classes I teach. I forward information that may be of interest to my students, but am not involved with the projects. Please contact the person in charge if you have any questions. Thanks!**
The Innovation Center is partnering with Misty Robotics to host a one-day Coding Jam on socially-assistive robots using the new Misty Robot!
You'll spend the morning learning how to use the Misty Platform (learn more at this link: https://www.mistyrobotics.com/robots/). Then, after lunch, you will work on teams on a design challenge. The day will end with dinner and an exhibition of each team's skill that you designed and programmed. Misty employees will be providing training and supporting teams during the jam.
Details:
- Saturday, October 5
- 8:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
- Cost: $30
- Location: SVVSD Innovation Center 33 Quail Road, Longmont, 80501
If you are interested in this event, please sign up on using this initial form. Once we get our registration page built in Revtrack, we'll send to you.
Students grades 6-12 are encouraged to attend. Teachers are also invited to attend and can receive professional development credit.

Students have begun to receive graded work back. Each assignment will have a rubric or points for assignments. They will be handed back for students to keep and entered into the gradebook. I’ve been entering grades into Infinite Campus. Students always have the opportunity to resubmit work if they would like to earn more points. Students are graded on the work they submit. I am looking for thorough work that answers all the questions and completes all of the assignment. My goal is for students to learn what we are doing in class, so they are always welcome to resubmit work in order to learn more and earn more points. We will have a hard deadline at the end of each semester, so I can finalize and submit grades. But other than that I’m fairly lenient on turning assignments back in to earn more points. It is each student’s responsibility to resubmit if they would like to do so. I will be sure to give explicit feedback, so students know what they’ve done well and what they can keep improving on. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for your support at home!

Welcome to the tech lab! We had a great first week of school! Each week I will send home a weekly newsletter. It’ll be a bulleted list of what we’ve done during the week, what students can work on at home, and our plans for the following week. Sometimes plans change, but this is largely what will be coming up in class. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me. I’m looking forward to a great year with the students in the tech lab!
