Computer Exploratory Grade 6
In Grade Six Computer classes we set our keyboarding goal at 10 wpm. Students are practicing using the home keys and keeping their eyes on the monitor. We do two assignments with Microsoft Word where students learn how to use WordArt, changed the font size and type, put a border around the page, and added clipart graphics. We create a web using Inspiration Software where students learned basic tools including shortcuts using the control key. Student learn the proper care and use of digital cameras and how to download pictures files onto the computer and then placing them into a Word document. Students are introduced to MS Excel, learning basic skills required to enter data and create a graphic representation of the data. We learn the skills required to safely and efficiently search the Internet and we learn how to created a PowerPoint Presentation and present it to the class.
