Students started class completing any missing assignments or turning in Keyboarding 17 (due today).  We then took 15 minutes for our first Typing Test!  Using typingtest.com students took multiple 3 minute tests on the topic of their choice.  We then took the best score.  Grades are awarded according to accuracy and speed.

 

We then moved on to our Online Research Lesson "Making Search Decisions and Identifying High Quality Sites".  There are many misleading and incorrect "facts" on the web and we need to be able to decipher the truth.

 

Our next meeting is a half day so I will only see hours 1,2, & 3.  I hope to see you all at Parent Teacher Conferences.
