Today, we need to get back in the flow of keying on a daily basis. We will start with reviewing everything on the keyboard that we have learned so far...and we will do it with the speed skin on the keyboard :-) I have a handout that you need to key in word to begin with.
There will be a vocab quiz this Friday, and it is over the 7th list of words (Internet #3). If you STILL!! have not defined your words for the vocab quiz for this Friday you need to get this done before school tomorrow! If you have a vocab "word" that is an acronym (for example GPS) make sure to include what each letter stands for as part of the definition; however that should not be the only thing you enter - you need to include the definition also. Here is what is left in each hour:
3rd hour - 3 definitions left
4th hour - 2 definitions left
6th hour - 4 definitions left
7th hour - 4 definitions left (but 2 definitions have no name next to them)
8th hour - 5 definitions left
After finishing the handout, if you have missing assignments you need to get those done now. If you do get done with the handout I would like for you to go to 10 Fast Fingers and test yourself to see how you do on speed typing. When you get done you will paste your best time on your home page of your blog. Here is how that can be done:
After completing the timed test on the website, scroll down and you will see something similar to this:
Select all of the writing in the "HTML-Code" section and then copy it. Next, go to the home page on your blog, create a new post (NOT A NEW PAGE!!) titled Speed test. Next, open up the HTML editing window (you do that by clicking on "HTML" in the top left corner when you create a new post), then paste what you copied into the message box. Click on "Compose" in the top left (next to "HTML"), then publish your new post.
