MARCH 24 - MAY 15, 2015 Goal: 90% Accuracy, 25 WPM
CO: I will demonstrate application of the proper typing techniques by physically showing them throughout the hour as my teacher observes.
LO: I can orally explain one of the five typing techniques using content specific vocabulary (homerow position, posture, wrist and feet placement, monitor, technique, proper). March 24 - April 21, 2015 ~ Typing Basics: Open the following link. https://strongcomputers.typingclub.com/ Your username is your ID number and your password is whatever you changed it to the first day we logged in. Remember to make sure that you are practicing the 5 typing techniques: homerow position, posture, feet placement, wrist placement, and eye placement! You will be completing lessons 1 - 70 in the Typing Basics using the TypingClub website. For the first 35 lessons the focus will be on accuracy. After that they will start having you focus more on speed. Check the calendar on the homepage for due dates! April 22 - May 7, 2015 ~ Word: For the next two weeks we're going to make your brain think a little differently than it has on typing since we started. You'll be completing 10 typing lessons in Microsoft Word so you'll start with a blank document and won't have the keyboard on your monitor like in TypingClub. Each day you'll be assigned at least one new typing lesson. You'll find the lessons in numbered folders over on the table beneath the chalkboard. You'll type up each lesson in a blank Word document, matching the content on each row. Each assignment name will just be the number that it is. For example, if I'm in second hour, assignment one would be saved as 2 Mrs. Henderson 1. Remember to always save with the correct format (hour, first and last name, assignment name). Submit to my Dropbox (password = strong) as you finish with each lesson. May 7 - May 15, 2015 ~ Intermediate: You'll be completing a series of intermediate lessons in TypingClub! You'll have to complete two lessons a day to stay on track. Remember that for these lessons the accuracy is 90% and the speed goal is 25 wpm! |
