LOGGING IN

  • During our practice runs we do not sign in.
  • Logging in, whether at home on a gaming console,

favorite website, social media or to their account in school remains the same. They must enter an ID and Password.

  • We are continually reinforcing the importance of

having the correct information for logging in with different mediums. (i.e., Windows’ profile, My Big Campus, EduTyping, etc.)

ITS CONNECTION IN THE CLASSROOM

The following slides will show the connection to what is being done in the classroom (via the tech lab) that will assist students in their navigation through PARCC.

slide-37
SLIDE 37

HOW IT’S CONNECTED

  • Along with every project in technology students are

given a review checklist.

  • They are required to check that all parts of the required

work is completed. These sheets are given back to each student with a grade and given the opportunity to use the review sheet to fix and improve their score.

  • This is not an option on PARCC, but with practice and

attention to detail, the skill of reviewing and making sure all parts have been completed will result in better test taking skills.

slide-38
SLIDE 38

TYPING PRACTICE

  • The students have been practicing typing at home

and at school. They cover two lessons every week.

  • The students will also be completing timed typing

tests and will continue to do so throughout the

  • year. Students were told that they can complete

some at home after their two lessons.

  • Students also complete prompts. They get five

minutes to brainstorm and type as much as they can.

slide-39
SLIDE 39

TYPING ETIQUETTE

  • We do not use Caps Lock.
  • When do we use Bold, Underline or Italics?
  • When is it okay to use ALL CAPS?
  • We space once after a sentence, word, comma,

period, etc. There is no space between the last letter of the sentence and the period.

  • We press Enter when starting a new paragraph.
