kids technology

This week we learned our first "tech tip"...all about the sound controls. We learned not only about special keys to adjust the sound levels on our laptops, but that there is more than one way to do the same thing on a device. Can you find the speaker buttons on your device? Can you find another way to turn the sound up or down, using the "System Volume"? Make sure you remember next week when we test our tech tip knowledge!  

Click the picture above to visit Read Write Think's Theme Poem activity. Select the computer and type what you learned this week about Internet Safety.

We've only been back for about three weeks but it didn't take long to pick up right where we left off. It was great seeing that many of you kept up your touch typing techniques and are getting better and better at typing with all your fingers. We reintroduced ourselves to some of our favorite typing websites and also explored some new ones. Don't forget the "key" is practice, practice, practice!!! Go under the "Typing" tab to practice on your favorite typing website. Remember, going on at home is strongly encouraged!

I can't believe this school year is almost over! We accomplished so much in keyboarding this year! It's hard to believe that when we first started we barely knew where the letters were and now we are speedy typers. Feel free to share your favorite parts of computer class as well as any suggestions you have for me to include for next year. Just click "Comments" below-Don't forget, you should not post your first and last name. Feel free to leave your initials or first name only. Have a wonderful summer and keep typing!
