Welcome to
Computer Class
The sixth grade students will concentrate primarily on their keyboarding skills. After the majority of the students finish the Type To Learn program, they will work on an endangered animals web quest. They will have an opportunity to use Microsoft Publisher to create brochures and business cards.

The seventh grade will improve their keyboarding skills using the Type-To-Learn program. While working on their keyboarding skills, the seventh graders will also improve their knowledge and skills in Microsoft Publisher by completing a Holocaust Webquest.
The eighth grade also will continue to improve their keyboarding skills. They will also learn how to use Excel by completing a Fast Food webquest. If time permits, they will also learn how to develop a personal web page using the FrontPage program.
