Initial 5 minute typing pre-test will be today using the LETTERLESS keyboards at Typing.com LEARNING INTENTION: Students will... keep their eyes off of their hands sit up straight (not uncomfortable) keep wrists from resting on the desk INCREASE THEIR SPEED & ACCURACY SUCCESS CRITERION: Students are NOT looking at their hands Speed 35 WPM or higher Accuracy 90% or higher required Students notice the difference in other classes STANDARDS: CTSA: 1A-DA-05 Store, copy, search, retrieve, modify, and delete information using a computing device and define the information stored as data. ISTE: TE10S2: Communication and Collaboration TE10S4: Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, and Decision Making TE10S6: Technology Operations and Concepts hardware. WHY? "I will use my perseverance to increase my speed and efficiency at keyboarding. That will build muscle memory so when I work on the computer, I will be able to focus on the work, and not the typing." 4. Code Refresher! Go to Code.org Log on with Google (the easy button please) Then do some of the puzzles! Lesson 1: Functions in Minecraft Lesson 2: Swimming Fish with Sprite Lab CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards (2017) AP - Algorithms & Programming 1B-AP-08 - Compare and refine multiple algorithms for the same task and determine which is the most appropriate. 1B-AP-11 - Decompose (break down) problems into smaller, manageable subproblems to facilitate the program development process.
