Welcome to Keyboarding!
Welcome to keyboarding, 6th graders! Your first blog assignment is to tell me what your computer/technology background is. Have you ever been taught keyboarding by a teacher? Have you used a keyboarding program? What do you do on your computer at home? (examples: school work, IM, email, etc) Do you think you have good keyboarding skills?
I’m really excited to get to work with you!

I have been taught keyboarding in 5th grade by my LMC teacher. When I am on the computer at home I im and watch funny videos
I have had typing with a teacher in the past. At home I go on my e-mail and play computer games.
I’m really glad I am in this typing class. Because I’m not a super good typer but I’m ok. Thank you for teaching me how to type.
Well thank you Mrs. Olson I am glad to be in your class for the ten days because I will be learning keyboarding.
My computer backround in keyboarding is, in 4th grade, I started a computer program at my old school. In 5th grade we didn’t do that much typing. I am not sure which program we used. On my computer at home I usually go on my IM’s, email, and homework. I think I have okay keyboarding skills, they’re not the best, but they’re still pretty good.
My dad develops his own computer games and my mom is the LMC director at Franklin Elementary so my parents have both taught me how to navigate a computer. I am on the computer every night on Webkinz and Microsoft Word where I do my creative writing assignments. I almost never e-mail but I do edit http://www.lacrossebeaverclub.pbwiki.com I do think I have good typing skills for never having keybaording, but I have LOTS of room for improvement.
No, I cannot type that good I can only type 13 words in 2 minutes. I had a keyboard class when I was younger and I did alright in that. I hope this will help me more on the keyboard.
Yes, at my old school Harry Spence. Yes - Bernies Typing. I play games and check my emails. No, not the best, I could use some improvment.
yes, I have used a typing program. The program was called something bernies. I forgot what the name was called. I have a lot of keyboard experience, with things like: Im, online games, I can also put some things in computers. I like to tinker with computers, especially with my brother he is very good with computers and like to teach me about his knowledge. I love keyboarding/computers.
