Greetings

Hello,

This semester your student will be learning to touch type using a software called Microtype 5.  Keyboarding is the base business class and future business classes will build on this class.  It is very important that your student strives to master the ability to type without looking at their hands which is called touch typing.  We all can admit that having computer skills is of the utmost importance in the workplace.

The first 9 weeks will be spent learning to type and the second 9 weeks will be learning the basics of Microsoft word such as tables, columns, formatting and basic business letters.  We will focus quite a bit on posture.  Students are expected to sit straight with feet flat on the floor, wrists will be slightly with their eyes on the monitor.  The goal is to avoid stress related injuries in the future.

I am looking forward to a wonderful semester with your child.  Please email me though edline should you need anything. 

Thank you,

Carol Oliver, MMS, Business Ed.
