Students Develop Touch Typing and Word Processing Skills
The 3rd trimester of First Grade technology lessons continue to emphasize a strong focus on typing and word processing.
In the 3rd trimester, first graders continue developing keyboard skills. Students will practice typing home row keys, all previous lesson keys, as well as adding new keys. Students will practice introductory online research by learning to find appropriate images to illustrate their word processing documents. Students will also strengthen their word processing skills with assignments that include learning how to add, delete, resize, and position multiple images in typed documents. These skills are foundational for creating multimedia presentations going forward.
Below you will find the lesson plans used during computer class. The entire curriculum is online, so parents and students can access the material at home on their own computers.
