Keyboarding

Basic Keyboarding develops a basic skill in typing which may be used for either personal use or as a basis for further study and work in the business world. Included in the course are: developing touch typing technique, business letters, manuscripts, composing at the typewriter, centering materials vertically and horizontally, improving typing speed and accuracy and the ten key number pad on your keyboard.  Also included in the course we will work on Microsoft Excel, Word, PowerPoint and the internet.  We will learn to navigate the toolbars and use in real world applications. 

 

1^st six weeks we will use the book and typing program.  We will use work for the book part.  I will have the students use keyboard covers and turn monitors off while typing and give speed and accuracy test.

 

2^nd six weeks we will continue the keyboarding and learn business letters and the toolbar in Microsoft word. 

 

3^rd six weeks we will learn the other Microsoft office programs while continuing  to build our accuracy and speed on the keyboard.
