It's All About the Keyboarding

Our classes are starting to learn and practice keyboard typing using Dance Mat Typing.  This typing program gives students instructions on how to touch type using fun characters and music.  The second and first grades are working in word processing as well, and kindergarten continue to develop mouse and keyboard skills as they work on reading and math games.

Mashups, Sharks, and a Zoo

Our 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade classes are playing Mix-in-Mash, a program designed to show students how to properly credit photos, music, and other copyright material in digital work. They have also played Search Shark, a game that teaches students how to choose keywords when doing online research.

Our 2nd and 1st graders are learning about opening tabs and Windows on the Internet. They also are beginning to work on keyboarding by playing Keyboard Zoo 😀
