Keyboarding! We need practice! (me, too!)
Retrieve your Keyboarding document.
For some of you this will be the first time retrieving it and you can find it in the SHARES drive in the CAMPBELL folder in the Keyboarding folder. Many of you have already begun this task and your Keyboarding documents SHOULD BE in your own personal folders in the CAMPBELL folder on the SHARES drive.
GO to each of the selections on the Keyboarding document 2 times and record the scores on this sheet. Make sure you are saving it and saving it in the right place.
You should be making an attempt to use the correct fingers on the correct keys. It will slow you down, perhaps, in the beginning, but ultimately it will allow you to make speed improvements.
Then go and upload this document as a FILE to your own website. Make a new page on your website called Work. Upload it to that page.
If there is any time left you may go to the website where the Maze tested your use of the
arrow keys. Did you know that you should operate the 4 arrow keys with one hand only? Yes, that is correct. On the website where the Maze is you may scroll to the bottom and explore those activities. Let me know if there is an especially good one.
Some students might look at the last part of this assignment and think "free-time." It is not free time - it is exploration time. You may also choose to fill in the 3rd column of your Keyboarding Document by trying out all those programs one more time.

New technology to take a look at today. This website is called Power My Learning and you received your log-in credentials yesterday. powermylearning.org
Today you will log-on for the first time and complete the Playlist called Keyboarding Skills. What I have compiled here is a selection of keyboarding practice exercises. They are all different. Please click on Keyboarding Skills and then read the Student Directions for the assignment. It asks you to begin with a particular item on the Playlist - so that is what you should do. I have asked you to begin with that particular because it emphasizes the use of the proper hand positions and drills on the particular keyboard rows. Do the HOME ROW exercise. Place your fingers as they should be and use the proper fingers - I will be looking for proper finger placement. This is good practice even if you do not plan to do it right in the future.
