General Class Description

     Keyboarding is a transferable skill that will offer students an advantage as they enter high school and prepare for college or entering the job field. We will learn how to key the alphabetic and numeric keys and learn basic  word processing skills.

Students learn how to format a memo, personal-business letter, and business letter.  We also create tables and learn to format reports.  Language arts skills are reinforced in this course as we use correct punctuation, use the spell and grammar check features of word processing, and learn to proofread documents. 

     Advanced students will learn more about word processing, and explore spreadsheet, database, power point  and publishing software.
