Syracuse Junior High students getting immersed in high tech the Davis District that offers keyboarding to seventh grade students. This is a successful pilot program that will be introduced By DONETA GATHERUM SYRACUSE High tech is the best description of the keyboarding facility at Syracuse Junior High School. Equipped with 40 PCs, printers, the Typing Tutor III programed typing disc instructional system and a highly qualified instructor, Boyd Hansen, seventh and eighth grade students there are able to master basic typing, begining computer and word processing skills at an accelerated rate. At the end of the first semester beginning keyboard students typed an average of 22, 21, 18 or 17 words per minute, depending on the class period the average was taken from. Second semester keyboarding students had a class average of 44 wpm. These averages will go up the second semester, Mr. Hansen predicts, because the equipment was not in operation until three weeks into the school year. Asked if schools can justify putting money into computers, printers and special instructional programs, Mr. Hansen emphatically says, Yes. After teaching science at Central Davis Junior High in Layton for 21 years, Mr. Hansen decided to invest his time in futuristic technology. Two years ago he over a period of two years into all district junior high schools. As Syracuse students gain the basic keyboarding and computer skills to move ahead, more advanced classes in word processing and programming will be offered. Mr. Hansen can list many advan- tages to this modern teaching system. One of the most important is the instant correction that is available on the computer screen. After a student completes a typing activity, the computer shows the number of errors the student has made on each key. Those keys that are weak and need more work are automatically programmed into more exercises until the student has enough skill on the keys to move ahead to new material. Correcting papers after class is not needed with this program. At the end of each class period, the student receives a print-oshowing what has been accomplished that day. Mr. Hansen can quickly scan the sheets and deter-- ; mine if the student is succeeding and if individual teacher help is' needed. The computer program allows a teacher to supplement the ut started taking special classes to train him in computer use and teaching discs with original teaching. He is converted to computers as The mechanized method of teaching is much faster than traditional typewriting lessons using a textbook approach. Students in a typewriting class would be working on the middle alphabet lessons at this point in the semester, he says. The keyboarding students have completed the alphabet and are finishing up on numbers and signs. The programmed discs not only increase speed, they also help with accuracy. Students can see immediately where their weaknesses and mistakes are and the specialized program provides enough additional exercises to bring these weak areas up to a good performance level. Another big plus for the keyboarding program is the atmosphere created in the room. Gone is the noisy click click, of typewriters and the constant ding ding at the end of each line along with other sounds of carriages moving and machines banging. The computers are almost noise-fre- e and this quiet, learning feeling carries over to the students who are extra quiet and dutiful as they watch the screen for further directions and work to improve their individual keyboarding and computer skills. Each seems to be building and a sense of accomplishment. i Q2IK23ISC5Eimv aEEB!i!ajEl!lSiSI!EEZ$l GESSHQD MOVED OUR OREM STORE EROM 55 S. STATE TO VUE 151 Mo ea. Limited to stock on hand.
