Saving and Turning in Your Work

You will be tested on the information in the presentation called "Saving and Turning in Your Work."

Next, choose the first project from the plastic bin that Ms. Revoir showed to you in class. Complete the assignment, save your work and turn in your work by uploading it. You may upload your file to "dropitto.me" or you may "share" in Google Docs.

You will then move on to the next project in the bin.

If you don't understand something in the project, please ask Ms. Revoir!

Here is a partial list of projects for this semester. I may add projects or remove projects as needed but this will give you an idea of what is required.

Learning to compose at the keyboard:

Some assignments will get your brain thinking and help you ccompose while at the keyboard. Information on how to complete these assignments can be found in the plastic bin located in our classroom.

Using a word processing program:

Additional assignments are desiged to teach you how to use a word processing program. In our class we use Microsoft Word. You will have practice formatting documents, editing documents, creating documents, and inserting components such as: graphics, shapes, tables, and charts. Information on how to complete these assignments can also be found in the plastic bin in our classroom. Yes, you may take assignments home to work on them.

Increase speed and accuracy!

Using timed writings, by the end of the semester you should be keying 45+ WPM (words per minute) with 8 or fewer errors.
