Year 7

Let's take 15 minutes at the beginning of each class and practice our typing. Here is a fun link that you can also use at home: http://freetypinggame.net/ This is a great site that offers: typing lessons, typing games, and typing tests. And it's FREE! Keep track of your progress by including your scores in your process journal/blog.

Also, let's have a quick refresher course on Microsoft Word 2007. Some of you are new to SDIS and it won't take long to bring everyone up to speed.

Sorry Year 7, but we don't have an overhead projector at the moment.

Open a Word 2007 document and let's get started!

After try these activities to reinforce the Word 2007 Vocabulary:
