To date we've covered the following in class:
1) Ergonomics and the importance of ergonomics in our world. Ergonomics is the science concerned with designing safe, comfortable and efficient machines, environments and things (in general - like furniture, equipment and facilities) for humans. Following ergonomic rules will increase your speed and accuracy at the computer as well as helping your body cope with long sessions at the keyboard. Ergonomists attempt to make work and its environment better.
2) History of the Typewriter. Who invented the typewriter? When was it invented? Who invented it?
3) Computer Concepts - we learned some important things about computers, like: What is a computer? What is software? What are the two main types of software? What is hardware? What are input devices and some examples? What are output devices and some examples? What are processing devices and some examples? What are storage devices and some examples? What is computer memory? What are the two main types of memory? What are bits, bytes, kilobytes, megabytes and gigabytes? What are binary numbers? What are computer languages and some examples? What are networks? What is the Internet? What is the World Wide Web? What is telecommunications? What is a Web Site? What is a Web Page? What is a Web Browser? What is the URL? What is a domain name? What is http? What are URL identifiers and some examples? What are copyrights and why are they important?
Please study your notes on Ergonomics and Computer Concepts for the Test on October 1st, 2008.
You are also working on your Keyboarding Lessons (MicroType 4 Program). Please continue doing so concentrating on ACCURACY! If you feel that you must repeat some of the lessons or exercises, please do so. It is essential that you complete these lessons only after having mastered the exercises. Don't forget to read the techniques and instructions carefully! Also, try to be consistent - consistency is very important. If you find yourself typing certain combinations of letters very slow and others very fast, you must repeat some of the exercises (or lessons). Once the keyboarding lessons start including more words in the exercises, typing will start becoming easier - as long as you follow the directions carefully and uses consistency. Persevere and be patient, typing will become easier and soon you'll find yourself typing words and combinations of words a lot faster. The important thing at the beginning is, I repeat, ACCURACY!
You should be able to Map to the K Drive by now. If you are still having problems doing so, please let Mrs. Feld know. Thanks for your patience and cooperation, I appreciate you good work!
