Today is Tuesday, September 30.  This is our second class.  My name is Davida Jordan.  I will be your teacher.  Joan Radonich is another teacher in our class.   What do you remember from last week?  Do you remember the word scroll? 

STAYING HEALTHY

Today, every 15 minutes, please look away from your computer screen to rest your eyes.  Look up and look down.  Look out the window.

Blink your eyes.  This means you should take your first eye break at 8:45.

Every 30 minutes, please stretch your body:  roll your neck, reach up with your arms, walk around the room.  This means you should take your first stretching break at 9:00.

This will keep your body healthy so you can keep using the computer without getting hurt!

HOW THIS CLASS WORKS

In this class, we will work independently (=alone) and together as a whole class.  You can work at your own pace.  This means you decide how much time you need to complete the work.  For each section of the class, please wait while Davida explains the directions.  Ask questions if you don't understand what to do.

Everyone 8:30 - 9:00 - Introductions

In the last class, we used Padlet to introduce ourselves.  Take a look at the Padlet again to remind yourself of everyone's names.  If you were not here last week, please add an introduction.  Click this link:  Padlet.  Get up from your computer and walk around to talk to your classmates to say hello.  Try to talk to at least three different people.

Good morning!  How are you?  Nice to see you again!  Nice to meet you!

What's your name?  Where are you from?  What level are you in?

Do you like _______________?

I like your _________________.

Practice speaking and listening!  

Everyone - 9:00 - 9:30 - Typing

You can copy and paste with the keyboard or with the mouse.

Highlight your username and press these keys at the same time:  ctrl + c.    ctrl + c = copy

Click where you want to add your username and press these keys at the same time:  ctrl + v.  ctrl + v = paste

Or you can highlight your username and right click to copy.  Click where you want to add the username and right click to paste.

After you log in, you will be at the same lesson you were working on last week.  Continue practicing.  Your goal is to be able to type without looking at the keyboard.  Once you can do that, your goal is to type faster.

👋One more thing:  Let's review the different fingers:  pinky finger, ring finger, middle finger, index or pointer finger, thumb.  Each finger has a specific job when you're typing.  For example, the thumb is the only finger you use for the space bar.

🚨Be careful for ads on the website.  🛑Don't click on them.  Ask Davida if you don't know how to go forward.
