Mrs. Schramm: Grades K-8 Computer, CCC, Typing and Forensics

	Computer classes for Grades K- 8 focus on building skills in Microsoft Office. In the lower grades, I will introduce MS-WORD and Powerpoint. In the middle grades I focus on building on those skills as well as adding Excel. In Junior High I add Publisher as well as doing a lot of cross curriculum work (newspaper, Science Fair, National History Day, etc.). As usual, internet safety will be taught and stressed!
	CCC (Computer Curriculum Corporation) also know as Successmaker, is a software program that focuses on building math skills. It enables the children to enhance their math skills using the computer in a non-stressful environment.
	The typing elective will focus on building keyboarding skills. The main tool used in this room will be the "Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing" software program.
	Forensics, focusing on Public Speaking, will be a fun class that will teach the children how to put together a speech and get up in front of people, using technology, to present to a group. The children will learn different types of speeches as well as how to critique themselves and their peers.
