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.

This was a little bit of a weird week with a delayed start on Tuesday and a lot of snow the rest of the week. We had quite a few absences, so not all of the classes are at the same place. Students either did a fun activity with a Google Slides Scavenger Hunt using their slides skills, a Digital Escape Room, or we started using Google Forms. Next week we will all be working in Forms. We will learn how to create different types of questions, move them around, change color and font, include pictures, include videos, and other formatting options in Forms. Then we will move in to sharing our form, collecting data, sorting data, and what we can use the data for after we collect everything.

Grading reminder: This year we have begun to put “Missings” into the Infinite Campus Gradebook if student’s work is not turned in at the time we grade. We were asked to do this by the office. I will make a note if a student is absent or if something is incomplete. I always welcome my students to keep working on their assignments if they are unhappy with the grade they earned. The goal is to learn and keep growing their skills, so I’m happy if they’d like to go back and make improvements to their work. If a student is absent, I will send home missing work and they need to let me know when they’ve “turned it in” in their folder online via email. Missings can be changed easily and do not have to be the final grade if the students re-submits or turns in their work for the first time if they were sick. We want students to understand what happens if they don’t complete work, which is why we have been asked to put in the missings. And like I said, this can be changed easily once students hand in their work. At the end of the semester students will be told a date in advance for when grades will be finalized. This will give them time if they have any missing assignments to complete them and turn them in. While my goal is for students to learn, it is also a goal for students to stick to deadlines, be responsible for their work, etc. I would highly encourage them to stay up to date with their assignments. Please let me know if you have any questions about this.
