“Mrs. H. my keyboard is broken; it doesn’t have a Q…”
Clickity clack, clickity clack…That is what you can expect to hear in the lower school lab for the next month. Of course you have to throw in an “Oh man!!” and an occasional, “Where is the W???” to be more accurate.
We have finally left NWEA world and entered full speed (well, maybe speed is the wrong word) into keyboarding! The students are doing very well. Most of them are even enjoying it. Those who are not enjoying it yet will certainly enjoy their soon-to-be-found ability to type with more accuracy and more speed. My emphasis is accuracy, especially for the younger grades. Speed will come naturally as they practice.
If you would like to help your child practice, there are a couple of links below that you can access from your home. It is a wise investment of their time, believe me!
We have also learned how to more accurately identify the computer parts, both inside and out. The students loved to hear me lament about my “old” computer in the “olden days” that had no sound card or video card. AND no modem! We had many lively discussions about the computer’s insides and the names used for them…ask them what Mrs. Hassig thinks the motherboard might be called if it were named today…
