Remember, if you are here everyday and work hard to get your assignments done on time, you will benefit in getting a good grade. More important than the grade is the knowledge you will aquire. "KNOWLEDGE IS POWER" Even though keyboarding is learned in 6th grade, we will review it in 7th grade to help you build speed and improve the skill. Students should be typing 30-35 words per minute by the end of this class in 7th grade. Other activities that we will cover in 7th grade are Microsoft Office-Word Processing, Spreadsheet, and Powerpoint, Programming. We cover Internet Safety, Plagiarism and Copyright policies, how to search the internet using Boolean terms, as well as other methods. As time allows near the end of the semester, I bring in other activities that are beneficial to all such as Google Sketch-up and Flash.
