My precious daughter Katherine is two-years-old. Previously she was the most perfect child anyone could have asked for--an absolute dream child. That is until she realized she could use a most powerful word..."NO". I do want her to express herself and to say no when she could be injured, etc. What I didn't understand in her quick grasp of language was that she would dare say to me, "NO Mommy." Ugh! What happened to my little sunshine? The toddler years have now begun. We consistently train and discipline Katherine and after she misbehaves she receives her punishment. Then she says ...
I am in need of a software developer who would like to contribute to this project a couple typing games for middle to high school age students using a Biblical theme. Please let me know ASAP if you can help. Thank you!
Review of Computer Science Pure and Simple (Books 1 and 2) by Phyllis Weaver
Computer Science Pure and Simple (Books 1 and 2) by Phyllis Wheeler, published by Motherboard Books in 2007. Available through www.motherboardbooks.com/.
Homeschoolers enjoy learning computer skills. Students are offered programming and website design courses in public and private schools but rarely seen on the homeschool market. Until now. Phyllis Wheeler’s curriculum, Computer Science Pure and Simple (Books 1 and 2) give a mixture of lessons starting with word processing, animation, spreadsheets, and web design. This is a well-written curriculum. The lessons start at the beginning level and moves on to more advanced levels. Book 2 includes games, Internet exercises and web pages, along with programming.
The curriculum uses Micro Worlds; a programming language that students are able to understand easily and keeps their interest. Each book gives screenshots to help guide the student in doing the exercises and understanding the lesson. There is also an answer key for parents to check the work to keep the student on track.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Computer Science Pure and Simple (Books 1 and 2) after students learn typing skills and basic word processing from Keyboarding for the laceName w:st="on">ChristianlaceName> laceName w:st="on">SchoollaceName>. This makes a great transition for students learning computer skills.
Welcome parents and teachers to the Christian Keyboarding Blog! It is dedicated to serving you and your students in the teaching of typing (aka keyboarding).
