Update from Mrs. Lyon:
Computer6 – It’s nice to see the students again after their Kieve experience. They are back to using MicroType and remember they can always go to http://www.gamequarium.com/ for keying practice at home.
Computer7 – Computer7 students are going to be presenting their Email etiquette presentations to the class and then we will begin to explore how email can help with their school work and they will be exploring using a Blog in conjunction with the reading they are doing in English class. They also continue to improve their keying skills.
Computer8 – Students have begun to explore using their class Wiki. They have responded to questions about their reading from My Brother Sam is Dead and next will be working on a combined project with the other Computer8 class. They also continue to brush up on their keying skills.
