 * Class A B Split and Initial Session

=Activity=

Today we will begin an 8 week Split Session. During this time, the class will be split into two groups - A and B - and will focus on two different activities during the week. The weeks will cover different topics, but will follow this format:
 * Tech tip of the day
 * Group A Typing Lesson / Group B Weekly Topic Focus (Wednesday)
 * Group B Typing Lesson / Group A Weekly Topic Focus (Thursday)
 * Check In and Wrap Up

Wednesday's Class this week will cover the following:


 * Setup of Typingweb accounts by students (this is the same program used by the students last year. However, as necessary mastery wasn't yet achieved, we will continue to use the lessons along with some more in-class support including practice tests and other typing supports).
 * Covering up of the keys by using a folder, a piece of paper, or a scarf while typing.
 * Completion of a typing test to determine starting wpm and accuracy.
 * Completion of (or beginning of) Lesson One (Home Row Keys).

Thursday's Class will cover the following:


 * //Today, Group A will practice typing. They will be responsible for completing Lesson 1 and a Test by the end of class. Those that do not finish the assignment will lose 10 of the possible 40 points for this assignment.//**


 * //Today, Group B will begin the following webquest: The History of Computers. Groups will be as follows://**


 * //1. Erin, Palmer, Cameron, Carla//**
