Keyboarding/PowerPoint is a class designed to introduce students to the touch typing method of keyboarding. This class will focus on developing muscle memory as students’ progress towards speed and accuracy using a computer keyboard. Students will be assessed based on the speed and accuracy of timed writing tests, along with practice work they complete during class.

The students will also review the basic fundamentals of PowerPoint, including the use of templates, transitions, and animation. We will discuss and implement design rules to develop tasteful and interesting presentation. The students will present one of their chosen presentation to the class.

Students will only need a pencil for class, and no homework will be assigned.
