Students in the 6th grade learn how to type by using the Herzog method.
It allows them to start typing by looking at the keys and
typing the alphabet. The results have been fantastic. This method really
motivates the students, as they see their scores soar. They will
also learn many new tricks for using Microsoft Word 2003 including: how to make watermarks, how to change
bullets to fun pictures, how to add picture borders to their pages and
how to feel more comfortable using the word processor. |

Students in the 7th grade will also learn how to work with Microsoft
Word 2003 and we will delve further into many of Word's tricks. They will
practice a variety of formatting options and see how to work with tabs,
line indents, spacing and other options which help with school work.
Examples from Word 2007 will also be discussed.

Students in the 8th grade will discover the world of WebTop publishing
using both HTML coding and FrontPage 2003. They will further explore the
Internet with discussions about safety issues and ways to make searching
for information easier and more exact. Students will develop
their own web site based on their "dream vacation" which will
be posted on the Middle School North's web site for all to enjoy. |
