Unit Overview:

From the beginning of the year, we have been working on improving our typing skills. At  the beginning of each class, we do typing practice for about 10 minutes. During this time, we focus on using the home row and correct finger positioning to improve our typing speed and accuracy. This is a skill that will help me in all my other subject areas as we are using computers in almost each of my classes. My goal was to get to 40 WPM with 100% Accuracy. The following chart shows my current progress. To help me track my progress towards meeting my goal I created a Google Spreadsheet to keep track of my practice each week. I created a table to keep my data and then converted that into a graph which shows how I am doing each week.

 

Enduring Understanding: How can using technology help assist you in goal setting and achieving your goals?

 

Technology can help me in many ways, for example, I can learn fast typing, how to make different interesting presentations, reports and all of this will help me in the future.
 

 

Reflection on Progress Towards the Standards:

 

Strengths:

 

Creativity and Innovation: Demonstrates creative thinking, knowledge, and develops innovative work using technology.

 

I like this part and I think I am good at this. I'm good at this because now I can do a table for anything after we have passed this topic, I became more aware of how to deal with the technology and tables, and how to work on the computers.

 

 

Areas for Improvement:

 

Communication and Collaboration: Uses digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively.

 

I want and I have to be better on this topic and I need to practice more.
