Grade 4 AlphaSmart and PAWS lessons
(PDF) Grade 5 AlphaSmart and PAWS lessons (PDF) |
These lesson plans were developed for use with the AlphaSmart Keyboards and PAWS Books and were use in the District before the Keyboarding Video Series was developed. For those staff who may prefer using the lesson plans as opposed to the Video Series, the lesson information and ideas are available here as PDF files.
How do I access the materials?
If you already have Acrobat Reader 3.0 or above installed, the lesson will appear in your browser window. You can print it from there, or click File— Save to save it to your hard drive. Remember where you save it (you might want to write it down). To view the lesson plans after they are safely saved on your hard drive, just double-click the filename (if you have the Acrobat viewer installed, of course).
What if I do not have Adobe Acrobat Reader?
Go to the Adobe Web site and follow Adobe's instructions to download the program and to set it up. Once you have the viewer, you are ready to download any of our PDF materials.
Just what is PDF, and why would you want your documents in it?
PDF stands for Portable Document Format, and you can read PDF files in Adobe Acrobat no matter what kind of computer you are using. They are also compressed, or 'squeezed' files so they do not take forever to download! And it means that once you download the free Acrobat viewer, you can not only print the course handout quickly and easily, but also view it as it was meant to be seen with fonts, graphics, and all.
