WPM Testing: We consistantly
measure our "Words Per Minute" by
going to the following website:

www.typeonline.co.uk/typingspeed.php


 
Grades 3 & 4:
We are currently working on learning the
parts of the computer.  We are getting familiar
with proper posture and how to identify and
operate the computer.

Then we will start learning about Internet
Safety and a gentle talk about Cyberbullying.

Next, we will be working on
a program called Dance Mat Typing,
in which the students will be learning about
keyboarding.  They will start
on the "home row" and will be moving on to
other keys as they progress.

Visit our favorite: "Dance Mat Typing" website.
