Both first and second grade classes spent time working on their keyboarding skills by practicing typing their first and last names. I play two songs for them to listen to while they type their names. This equals about five minute of practice time for typing. At this level the focus is to type using their left and right index fingers. Every class period begins with some kind of typing warm up to give students time to gain awareness of letter location on the keyboard.
Because of the short week, not all classes came to technology class. So we visited the ABCya websites to investigate letter and number games. The students really enjoy the games on this site so bookmark it on your home computer and also check out the apps available for your mobile devices.
