Our 1st - 5th grade students are practicing keyboarding skills and word processing these days. We are using Dance Mat Typing to start learning the QWERTY keyboard, and 3rd - 5th grade will transition into Typing Club for practice the rest of the year. Using the Keyboarding folder in Schoology, the students will be able to test their typing skill and speed whenever desired.
We are using Microsoft Word to start word processing skills like changing the font style, the font size, the font color, etc. The 3rd-5th graders will also practice these skills using Google Docs.
We will then practice highlight, copy and paste skills using text and images. Learning these skills will make research and writing easier.
