year in Mildred E. Strang Middle school.
I live in Yorktown Heights, along with my husband and 3 children, -two are
in the Yorktown Public Schools and my third is just not old enough....yet!
I am thrilled to be teaching here and look forward to getting to know you
all!
It is my belief that everyone learns differently. Sometimes teaching a topic
using visual tools such as a computer will help to get a point accross
better. That is my goal and approach to teaching Computer classes in the
Middle School.
1. To continue to have proper approach to using the computer- posture,
keyboard etc.
2. To introduce or expand on a students knowledge of computers and computer
terminology. (7th Grade)
3. To get through the basics of popular software applications, including MS
Word, MS Excel and MS Powerpoint. (7th Grade)
4. To have fun with all the applications learned in 7th grade skills to do
more advanced computer projects. (8th Grade)
5. To introduce any tools that will be useful and help enhance a students
career as a student (including Inspiration). (any grade)
