Welcome to Keyboarding Applications

Picture
Dear Students and Parents/Guardians:

Welcome to Keyboarding Applications!  In this course, students learn touch keyboarding skills.  To increase speed and accuracy, proper touch keyboarding techniques are expected of all students.  Using Microsoft 2007, students will apply their skills to format and key letters, memos, reports, and tables. Students will also complete projects and other information processing tasks.

All students are responsible for arriving to class on time and promptly beginning daily assignments. Students are required to observe all school and classroom rules and procedures.  Our classroom rule is to practice good citizenship. In order to do this, students are to be patient; to be kind; to treat others, as they want to be treated; to work wholeheartedly, and to be respectful of me, of each other and of our classroom.  

Grades are determined according to the following course requirements:
·                     Technique Evaluations
·                     Class Work (including Timed Writings) and Homework
·                     Projects
·                     Quizzes
·                     Tests

For supplies, students need to have a pen or pencil daily.  Students are also expected to join Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA), the organization for students enrolled in business and information technology classes.  The Virginia Department of Education considers membership in FBLA to be an important part in developing your child’s employability skills.  Membership dues are $12.
