Websites activities are used to strengthen students’ understanding and skills.
The middle school students participate in assignments for Online Safety, Types of Cyberbullying, Computer Parts and the Microsoft programs terminology in readiness for tests on these topics at Quizlet.com/sfasit. Proper research with citation of their sources in MLA format is expected.
Keyboarding is always a staple in computer classes and the Mavis Beacon Typing program is used on a regular basis for all grades PreK-8. PreK students learn how to use the mouse, the names and purpose of computer parts and reinforcement of their letters and numbers as they enjoy grade appropriate websites.
