Keyboarding

This week we are starting our keyboarding lessons at Prairieview. This is review for the fourth and fifth graders, but brand new for the third graders. It is a very valuable skill and will definitely be a part of our students' lives. We use a program called UltraKey by Bytes of Learning. It is very straightforward and has the added advantage of keeping track of each student's progress. We get the process started during I.M.C. classes and then ask the teachers to use it, as they can find time, during the rest of the school year. It can be used at any computer in the building. Students have the chance to continue right in the classroom when they have completed other work.
