While aboard the "Keyboarding Cruise Liner" students will "set sail" to different destinations to engage in activities to enhance their knowledge and understanding about computer hardware, software and advancements in technology. While docked at McClure Middle School, I strive to engage students in enriching activities that can be applied to everyday life.
