Welcome To Business at Erwin Middle School

2011-2012

Please Bring  Pen/Pencil and Paper to Class Everyday!!!!

6th Grade:

This quarter we will be learning the keyboard and proper keying technique. Students will use Microtype, a computer based program that teachers proper technique and finger placement. Each week students will be assigned lessons to complete. The following is a schedule that indicates when lessons should be completed. (I reserve the right to modify if needed)

Throughout the quarter students will be assigned timed writings that will demonstrate their improvement in regards to speed and accuracy.

7th Grade

This quarter we are going to learn the basic components of a computer system, and how those components work. We will then learn how to use application software programs such as Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. We will finish the quarter with a quick unit on internet safety and viruses.

8th Grade:

This quarter we will review the proper keying technique using Mircotype. We will also learn about business concepts that are important to you as eighth grader. We will talk about possible business careers that may interest you and what you should expect if you choose such a career. The last part of the quarter will consist of us exploring different economic systems, characteristics of successful entrepreneurs, and business ethics. 

I look forward to having you in my class.

Go Eagles
