In this 6-week typing & computer literacy course, students work on: typing with two hands, how to use a mouse, how to copy and paste, how to save a file. This class is designed to help students learn to type with confidence without looking at the keyboard or resorting to typing one finger at a time. Students will learn to type based on what they see, hear, and think. Each class is gamified. Using a combination of teacher directed activities and typing software, this class makes learning to type fun. Students who do the homework, generally see the greatest benefit from this class. Many students join this class as additional support to a typing class they may have at school or at their local library. Part of this course involves learning to navigate a computer with minimal adult assistance. For this reason, when a student is struggling to do tasks like share screen, minimize a page, or close tabs the teacher will talk with the student to help them solve the issue without an adult assisting. The goal is to help each student feel more confident in their computer usage skills and of course develop healthy typing habits. Suitable for: - students who finger type - students who have to look at the keyboard to type - students who are not confident with typing - students who are not confident with keyboard shortcuts - students who want extra support outside of a school typing course Frequently Asked Questions: We will be out of town and have to miss one of the classes. Should we just watch the video? Most of the videos do not provide content that will be of use to those who miss a class. If you know your child will miss one class, then let us know. We will offer to transfer your child to a different class time for a make-up lesson, but if that doesn't work we will give your kiddo access to material they can work on outside of class. Something came up and we missed class. What should we do? This course is designed to support Live online learning and does not provide content that can be completed by simply watching the class recordings. We understand that emergencies happen and will do our best to help your kiddo get back on track. Please note that we cannot offer more than 1 make-up lesson in a 6 week period or have students miss more than 3 classes. This is a 6 week program and missing 3 consecutive classes will result in being withdrawn from the course.

Orientación para padres
Day 1 preparation:
Before class, Please adjust your computer settings so that your child can screen share in class. For students age 7 to 8, please have an adult available if needed for any tech issues. It can be disruptive to the learning environment when we experience delays related to a learner's inability to get assistance on the first day. Generally after day 1, the students are fine navigating the online platform on their own.
Typing is a skill that is developed by repeated practice. Four out of six classes are primarily students typing and getting to the know the keyboard. It can feel boring and while typing games can make things more fun, the games do not replace memorizing the keys. Students who do the homework generally see the greatest benefit from this class.
