Learning symbol keys; reminders about the week

There are a couple of reminders for today:

1. Your crossword puzzle is due at the beginning of the hour - please turn it in with your name at the top
2. If you have vocab definitions to post please get them posted by Tuesday night (this is week #5 - Internet #1 list).  You've had over 3 weeks to get this done so this should not be a problem.  This should also let you know that we do have a vocab quiz on Friday - be prepared.

Today we are going to learn the symbols on the keyboard.  This is a lot to absorb in one day, so we will be back to practice these later as well.  To do that we are going to go to one of the practice websites and go through the lessons for the symbols. The website you need to use is the FreeTypingGame website, and you need to go through Lessons 24 - 29. When you are going through these lessons the goal is to type at a 15 wpm rate.  Here are the fingers you use to key these symbols:

+ = Left shift + R4 (plus sign)

- = R4 (hyphen)

* = Left shift + R2 (asterisk)

/ = R4 (forward slash)

@ = Right shift + L3 (at symbol)

_ = Left shift + R4 (underscore)

# = Right shift + L2 (number)

& = Left shift + R1 (ampersand)

$ = Left shift + L1 (dollar)

% = Left shift + L1 (percent)

( = Left shift + R3 (left parentheses)

) = Left shift + R4 (right parentheses)
