Lesson 2
Intro to Keyboard & Selecting Text in Microsoft Word
Handouts:
In Lesson 2, we spend the majority of our class time working in Microsoft Word. We learn what the action bar and cursor are and from there we learn how to use the keyboard. Once the basics of using the keyboard are taught, we learn the three most commonly used navigational tools in Microsoft Word: Menu bar, Tool bar, Title bar. After these navigational tools are introduced, we learn how to select text. Because there are multiple ways to select text, students will learn the different ways and figure out which way is easiest and feels most comfortable to use. Once the class feels comfortable selecting text, the last topic we learn includes using the "undo" and "redo" buttons on Microsoft Word.
