Sixth grade computer instruction is focused on learning the keyboard. Many of the students have never had any computer or keyboarding training and the first half of the term will be focused exclusively on keyboarding exercises. During the second half of the nine weeks the class will be introduced to PowerPoint and Paint. They will be given several projects to create in both PowerPoint and Paint and then will learn to combine the two. Rubrics will be given to all students that will cover the requirements of each project and how they will be graded. Because all work is done in class, there will never be any homework.
