Welcome to the 2017 - 2018 school year! I am very excited to get to know your kids! The first week of school we will be doing the "paperwork" and getting acquainted with each other. We will also be signing up for all our wonderful online resources.
Students will begin working in edutyping next week. Edutyping is an online keyboarding tutorial that your students will be using to develop their keyboarding skills. Your student can access edutyping.com from both school and home so if they are absent, they still have the ability to go in and make it up. I will ask that if your student does work on edutyping at home that you require them to follow the correct posture when sitting and using the correct fingers when typing. In class they will have a blanket on the keyboard and will not be able to see the keys. I will be observing them when they type to make sure they are using the correct posture and learning where the keys are located while using the correct fingers to strike the keys. These observations are formal grades.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to e-mail me at [email protected]
