Allied Arts is now in Rotation 5 (April 13-June 3)
6th Grade DigiCom - You will learn to touch type which means you are not allowed to look at your fingers when typing. You will be given a keyboard cover to place over your keyboard to block your view of the keys. We will begin slowly learning the home row keys two at a time using the freetypinggame website. Once the home row has been introduced, you will move on to using MicroType 5, a school purchased program. All graded work must be completed in MicroType at school. If you struggle with typing, I encourage you to get lots of practice at home by using the freetypinggame website or practicing drill lines in a word processing program. Click here for assignments.
