Dear Students,
Hello! Welcome to Ms. Hansen’s Computer Science blog. I’ll be posting here every so often to talk about what we’re doing in class and what you should be doing at home. Bookmark this site and show it to your parents so they can know what we’re doing, too.
Homework.
Yes, homework already. One of our goals for this year is to become stellar touch typists. Like learning to play the piano, learning to type takes practice– I expect you to practice with your CustomTyping.com account at least twice a week for fifteen minutes each time. Whenever you’re typing– whether you’re writing a letter to a friend, typing a humanities assignment, or chatting with your friends on AIM– try to rest your fingers on the home row keys and teach each finger to do its own job. It will probably feel slow and awkward at first, especially if you’ve devised your own typing system like I did when I first started typing. With dilligent practice you’ll become super-typers, your fingers will remember where all the keys are located and you won’t even have to think about each individual letter, the words will just flow from your fingertips!
So, get practicing! See you in class! Sincerely, Ms. Hansen
