Log into kidblog.com and answer the first question in a blog post 4. Begin the assigned lesson at typing.com. (students will be assigned a starting point based on their keyboarding pre-test scores) Welcome! We will first take a look at the COURSE INFORMATION page to learn the rules for this class You might still have some questions... Q: What is the first thing I do when I enter class each time? A: LOOK AT THE BOARD. There will be a message from the teacher telling you exactly what to do. Read this message before you log into the computer. Q: Am I allowed to talk when I enter class? A: NO. We will have class discussions but once you are in the lab, you need to be silent. Some people need silence in order to think and focus. We will often "discuss" issues at Kidblog and your talking will take place through blog comments. Q: How do I leave this class to go to the bathroom or get a drink? A: You may leave this class 2x each report card period to go to the bathroom or get a drink. Your passes to do this are located next to your name on the class clipboard. You may only use them when your teacher is not addressing the entire class and you are working on your own time. Please write the date in the pass box on the clipboard. The list is at your teacher's desk. Q: What if don't understand some assignments? A: ASK! If it is after school hours, email Mrs. Taylor at [email protected] and she will help you as soon as she can.
